Mariel Llano

portrait of photographer

Mariel Llano was raised in Guaymas, a small town in northern Mexico. Most of her work is inspired by her cultural background and all kinds of facets or particular niches within Mexican culture: with a primary focus on food. Today, as a young artist living in NYC, she continues her career focused on combining food and art as a theme. Telling stories visually by using both food and photos is Llano’s most commonly used theme.
