Maria Maggiori
Bio
María Maggiori (Argentina, 1975) reveals in her works a journey through imaginary lands, a new cartography of the world, where nature in black and white is a dreamlike, mysterious and disturbing space, as well as strangely known.
In her artistic practice she deals with drawing, painting, installation, video art and performance.With deep training in art and design mainly in France and Argentina, brush drawing is her most natural form of expression: the subtle lines of a language close to oriental traditions, tell us about a time almost stopped, laborious and in tune with this present.
Since 2013 Maggiori has participated in individual and collective exhibitions, also highlighting her participation in the Osaka Biennial in Japan and the Bienalsur in Argentina and France, as well as the scholarship for the Creation of the National Arts Fund and the scholarship for residency at the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica, in Venice, Italy.
Statement
A sustained rhythm of the brush accompanies my pulse, the drawing becomes the extension of experiencing time.
Their interruptions and gestures induce me to be immersed in the small silences. To witness the passage of it in an almost hypnotic state.
Anachronistic images of places I went, I go and return, the light filters and I get lost inside a misty forest, I can feel and smell its humidity. That which surrounds is erased, and we no longer find the faint signs of a possible world, imprecisely perceived. Everything is likely to be modified, within these landscapes that open up in fleeting appearance, a record that loses contour and transforms into a warp of infinite lines of lived and passed time.
