Mariano Ullua, Mar del Plata 1976
Self-taught in his artistic training, he attended visual artist Jorge Macchi's critique workshop between 2001 and 2004. Between 2000 and 2001, he participated in the Art Analysis and Production Program at the Fondo Internacional de Arte Contemporáneo in Mar del Plata, and received the TRAMA grant in 2004. He was awarded a training grant by the Fondo Nacional de las Artes in 2005. In 2006, he held his first solo exhibition at Alberto Sendros gallery. He has also showcased his work in solo and group exhibitions across various institutions, galleries, and independent spaces, including Mundo Dios, MACRO museum, CCEBA, Moria galería, Piedras galería, Le putit galery, and Mite galería, among others. In 2010, he published a book with the São Paulo-based publisher Tijuana. In the field of arts management, he co-directed Mundo Dios alongside Juan José Souto and Daniel Basso—an art space in Mar del Plata dedicated to fostering the production, study, and experimentation of contemporary visual arts.
His most recent solo presentations include the exhibitions: “Tos falsa 1 y 2” at Moria galería (Buenos Aires); “La delgada línea gorda” at Mundo Dios (Mar del Plata); “Atrás de nada” at Sala Gabriela Sabatini (Buenos Aires); and “¿De quién es esa cara?” at Jamaica galería (Rosario). In May 2025, he presented the two-person exhibition “Yo también soy yo” with Daniel Basso at Munar (Buenos Aires). In August 2025, he was selected by curator Florencia Cherñajovski to present a solo exhibition at the Fundación Andreani booth during arteBA 2025. In November 2025, he opened “Visión imposible,” a solo exhibition in Sala J at the Centro Cultural Recoleta, curated by Carla Barbero. His upcoming exhibitions will take place at Oh No galería in Buenos Aires during August and September 2026, and at the MAR museum in Mar del Plata in December of the same year.
He currently lives and works in Buenos Aires.
