Artist Statement

Maria, a mixed media artist with a foundation in architecture and technical design, discovered her passion for graphic design during her university years. Keen on transforming ideas into reality, she primarily focuses on graphic design, however, she values continuous learning and regularly experiments with new artistic mediums. This openness ensures her work remains innovative, blending her technical background with evolving creative expressions.

Maria's project marks a significant shift from her traditional black-and-white mediums to exploring emotions through color. In her dissertation, she assigns colors to emotions, photographs corresponding objects, and documents the experiences. These steps culminate in illustrations of the objects with personified features, expressing the emotions visually. This endeavor not only fosters Maria's personal and artistic growth but also encourages others to embrace their emotions, promoting empathy and self-expression among those hesitant to step out of their comfort zones.
