Transparencies and shadows

Experimenting watercolour on Yupo paper: such amazing medium!

A veil can hide, and at the same time show the truth underneath

Oh hi! Let’s try this! 🤍🍂👋🏼

I’m Maria, a conceptual self-portrait artist based in rural Denmark. I create art with my heart on the sleeve. Stories about vulnerability, raw emotions, our connection to nature, and our place in the world..

"While aesthetics have their place, there’s a raw, transformative beauty in discomfort—the kind that lingers in your mind, sparks conversations, and leaves an indelible impact." Ozge Gulbakan

A thread about "uncomfortable" art with meaning

Life can be as insensitive and ferocious as a grater. At times, at least

I am forever intrigued by the mistery of faces.

The way water allows chance and imprevidibity to move my works makes me love the language of watercolor and fast gesture drawing
