Maria Resende

"Painting is for me an impulse of creative expression.  I paint in a spontaneous, impulsive way following the "language" of colors, shapes and lines on the canvas. I rarely work according to a pre determined idea or composition. The painting develops itself in front of my eyes progressively, taking form during the process of creation. I use strong, vibrant, saturated colors, often mixed in unusual combinations. The female universe is very present in my paintings, sometimes portrayed in a whimsical, magical way and my abstract artworks are full of symbolism, with deep meanings based on my spiritual beliefs. "
