Maria’s painting go sideways, they are crude and expressive, inspired by the bold & intuitiveness of other nonconformist artists. Her work reflects impulsive, uncontrolled, & rebellious inclinations. The human brain when presented with abstract information will ponder to compile, complete, comprehend and make sense of that information. Although her paintings are considerations of ideas based on everyday life they are a platform for people to assess complex thoughts, situations, ideas and relationships.
