Experiments – Jeff Mariano

“If you want to be creative, stay in part a child, with the creativity and invention that characterizes children before they are deformed by adult society.” -Jean Piaget

A curious and exploratory nature has led Jeff to constantly experiment with new ways of creating things. This is an evolving page showing the different experimental interests I have at a particular moment in time such as art, game mechanics, sculpting, human behavior, philosophy, etc.

Art and Sensibility

A strategy game where you acquire resources by battling other players to improve your village structures and become stronger. It was my responsibility to design the game mechanics, interfaces, and illustrations.

Through art pieces, I am interested in exploring and discovering new ways of perceiving reality. I believe if I let preconceived judgment go, I can open myself to collective archetypal images and sentiments. I hope to show authentic and honest pieces of art through this process.

Losing Innocence

The feeling when I became aware of the evils of the world around me.

WHY

This piece of art explores this moment in which some of us may or have gone through in life.A close friend of mine passed away recently from brain cancer. It was painful, dark, intense, and traumatic for him and his family. (Especially his daughter) The question “WHY” was asked by him from the most intimate place you can ask it from. I created this piece of art in memory of him. This was the only way I could convey how that moment when he asked “WHY ME” felt like.
