Maria Kuipers

I aim to create moody and mysterious paintings highly charged with emotional content, to take me and the viewer, to a place beneath the surface. My subjects, whether they are landscape, seascapes, mindscapes or still-life, are a vehicle for compositional starting points, or, to distil a sense of place or state of being, and always with the intention of progressing beyond, into subjective abstraction, intentional ambiguity and material presence.
