Briski was born in Córdoba, Argentina.[1] She was married to Hernán Ventura from 1988 until her death in 2014; the couple had one son, Pedro.

In October 2004, Briski was diagnosed with breast cancer.[2] By 2012, it had metastasised into her lungs.[3] In 2014, Briski died from lung and breast cancer in Buenos Aires, Argentina, aged 48.[4]

Cancer

In October 2004, following a routine mammogram,[5] she was diagnosed with breast cancer.[6][7] She had a history of breast cancer in her family: her grandmother suffered and healed but died many years later of natural causes.[5] Mariana Briski had to endure two surgeries, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.[5][8]

―How do you tell your child that you were sick?
―I told the truth. I think when you know what happens can walk the pain better. A Pedro sat and words for a boy of his age told him I had something in the breast and I had to remove it. He immediately asked me if he was going to spend the same. I said no and also explained about the hair. Luckily there were just a little doll house that he could be taken out and put hair and that helped.
―Did you ask for professional help to talk to him?
―Sure, I had professionals who helped me in all areas of my life for the couple, family, everything. I think Pedro took it pretty well. What's more, he's going to an art workshop and recently gave me a sculpture that was me, hat and all. He said, "Lest you forget hat you wear". [Mariana Briski is visibly excited for the first time].
