Hi! My name is Maria, I'm 27 years old and I live in Essex UK. I live with my husband and my 1 year old baby girl named Natalia. I've been painting and drawing since i can remember and today I absolutely think that creating art is the best therapy. Creating art is not just a passion for me, is part of who I am. Using acrylics, I explore the boundless possibilities that emerge when color, texture, and form collide on the canvas. My abstract pieces are a symphony of texture and color, each layer telling its own story while contributing to the larger composition. These works invite viewers to interpret and connect with the raw emotions and energies that flow through them. In contrast, my figurative paintings delve into the depth of human expression, capturing moments of introspection, joy, and vulnerability. Art is my way of making sense of the world. Through the dynamic interplay of thick impasto techniques and delicate brushstrokes, I create tactile surfaces that engage the senses and evoke a visceral response. My skills have been honed through years of dedicated practice, experimentation, and a relentless pursuit of creative growth. Thank you for stepping into my artistic universe. For me, creating art is an essential journey, a way to communicate, to understand, and to connect. I hope my paintings resonate with you, inviting you to see the world through a textured, colorful lens and to find your own stories within them.
