Raquel Fornasaro holds a BA in Advertising and Media from Pontifical Catholic University (PUC) of São Paulo. Fornasaro also attended the Corcoran School of Art+Design Fine Art program in Washington, DC. Fornasaro's work has been showcased in multiple venues including the Tioga History Museum in NY, the Attleboro Arts Museum, Boston City Hall, Boston University, Harvard’s Crossing Gallery among others. She has won several awards for her art and lives and works in Newton, MA. 

The timeline of human evolution and our relationship with the environment have been paramount to my thinking in recent years. “Mars Bubble” is part of a series called Otherworldly, composed by digital paintings created by the composition of personal photographs, images from the Hubble Telescope, and Mars landscape pictures from the NASA's Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission. Centered on questions about the prospects for human life, “Mars Bubble” playfully imagines our future terraforming Mars into a livable world.
