Mara Held Laura Berger Her work was recently theGet Updates Mara Held is known for energetic yet delicate paintings on linen and paper depicting lyrical organic forms in vibrant colours. She uses intricately cut stencils for some patterns that evoke varied sources from plant life growing on ancient forest floors or pelagic forms found in coral reefs to Japanese woodcuts and psychedelic posters. Helds preferred medium is egg tempera, a painstaking technique mastered by Renaissance painters.
