Says Maria of her new body of work Moment of Silence: “In the world we live in, words are very important, but sometimes words are just not enough. However, a quiet feeling and contemplation directed inward can carry the potential of the energy of creation. In my new mini series Moments of Silence, the figures that inhabit these works are in safe meditative spaces, however the colour palette is ambiguous. Pure and intense light colours are off-set by the depth of darker, almost black, shades. Darkness makes light visible and in difficult times we understand more clearly what is really important. I believe that through faith and caring for each other, we can find peace.”
