Biography
Marianela Sants was born in Caracas in the spring of 1976. She is the granddaughter of Portuguese immigrants, her grandfather is from Cabo Verde and her grandmother from Lisbon. Together, they crossed the Atlantic on the ship Santa Maria, in search of a better life during the fifties. Since she was little, she has always had a restless passion for writing, inherited from her grandfather, who kept her writing for all these years. At the age of six, she wrote her first poem full of mixed feelings and with a broken heart, since it was inspired by the unexpected death of her grandfather, and from that moment on, the pencil has never stopped.
At the age of sixteen, she wrote her first collection of poems called “From 8 to 16” where, with few words, she relates the most impressive moments of her life. This manuscript was lost after her immigration to Lisbon, and was only found 25 years later. She is currently editing it to make it public.
One morning, she woke up and realized that life shouldn’t be practiced in just one field, so she decided to radically change her profession and left Human Resources to enter the medical field. She became a dental assistant, which awakened great curiosity in the area of biology and chemistry.
Years later she reflected, and decided that she needed to undertake a new experience to open other paths. She traveled from Lisbon to Barcelona in search of that life change. In the new challenge, she discovered unknown passions, and so began a stage that she lives intensely today.
Marianela has grown up traveling and, literally, between humanities and science books, since her father, molecular geneticist and Biology professor; and her mother, a psychologist, have always been feeding her knowledge in each of her areas. She is a specialist in Human Resources, has a Postgraduate degree in Emotional Intelligence and a Master’s degree in Communication. She has specialized in writing digital content in the area of personal development and psychology, but she has never lost her poetic vein.
Her poem “El Susurro de Neruda” was selected among the best works presented at the 1st Romantic Poetry Contest “Versos del Corazón”, organized by Diversidad Literaria. Her poetic career continued in motion when in 2013 she won the Santa Eulalia award for the best poem in the Catalan language, a contest held by the Malgrat de Mar City Council on Sant Jordi’s day. Then, in 2016, she participated in the Poetic Eroticism II contest, also organized by Diversidad Literaria. At the end of that same year, she wrote a poem for the XII Meeting of Poets on the Barcelona Network: “Antología Poética”.
Currently, she is the author of the books “Diario de una estresada en recuperación” and “De esta salgo brillando y volando”, in addition to the ebook: “Amo lo que me falta: Poemario sobre las ironías de la vida”, books that are available on Amazon, both in Spanish and Portuguese.
Her writings have a lively and simple language, without shortcuts and especially, with no ties. Her inspirations are transformed into sensual, slow, melancholic and passionate words. Her poems can often contain pleasure, pain or love.
It is impossible for her passion to be just one, so she diversifies it with writing, gastronomy and dancing. Among the things that few know about the author is that she is a thimble collector and loves unique pieces.
Marianela Sants has always been clear that her mission in life is:
“Reaching the depths of the hearts of others through their writings.”
