Marianna's work explores the concept of hidden beauty within the botanical world, capturing its essence by hinting at the processes occurring beneath the surface as if seen through a microscopic lens.
The abstract nature of her artwork is created by overlaying bold shapes with delicate patterns to reveal the essence and soul of real flowers and plants expressed through the use of translucent, layered textures of deeply saturated colours. Bettini strives to convey that beyond our ordinary visual experience of the botanical world there is a hidden, more complex realm of infinite energy, fragility and beauty.
