Maria Wrona
London, United Kingdom
Maria Wrona's artistic journey has been one of continual transformation over the past several years, a period marked by both productivity and frustration. In her exploration of art, she finds parallels with her personal quest for identity, recognizing the complexity that lies beneath seemingly simple expressions. While realistic art may appear straightforward, she is drawn to the enigmatic allure of minimalism, cubism, and abstractionism, despite the controversies and misunderstandings they often evoke.
Her current project focuses on domestic scenes, where she immerses herself in the interiors of flats, buildings, and the people who inhabit them. Within these spaces, she seeks out random compositions that intrigue her—be it through unconventional color combinations, shapes, or the chaotic beauty she discovers. Influenced by the likes of Picasso, Matisse, Vuillard, Milton Avery, and Igor Moritz, she is inspired not only by what their works depict but by the deeply personal and internal aesthetics they convey.
For Maria, the essence of art lies in the ability to create and convey one's own perception of the world. Her goal is to construct a mysterious reality that defies the logic of conventional human perception, inviting viewers to pause, contemplate, and delve into the emotions and intentions behind her creations.
In her paintings, Maria employs a wide and intense color palette, along with curved perspectives and a deliberate lack of depth in composition. Every element within the image holds equal weight, contributing to an overall sense of unity. She delights in playing with unexpected color combinations, purposely inducing a feeling of confusion that adds to the intrigue of her work.
