Soldier in horseback. A learning study Artwork - Limited Edition of 2

Welcome to my world of colours and emotions! I am a landscape and abstract painter, and I invite you to explore my art that reflects the beauty of nature and the depth of human feelings. I was born in Bedford, UK to Italian parents, and am now an ex-pat living and painting in Italy. I showed a strong passion talent for drawing and painting at a very young age. My parents moved to Luton when I was four, where they opened an Italian restaurant which became famous in the area for its faithfully typical Italian cuisine. I frequented the Barnfield College of Arts & Technology taking a four-year course in fashion design and clothing technology. I then worked in fashion houses in London, for about four years working mainly with Inega Jeans and Rapture Jeans. I also worked in the costume department during the making of the film Barry Lynden and some years later the film Revolution. I have however always maintained some drawing and painting over the years, even if working in entirely different fields. In 1992, in an international ehìxhibition, I won hanging space for one year at the Limner Gallery of Soho in New York. I am now drawing and painting full time and am really enjoying painting with a variety of mediums and subjects, and in a varying styles . In this past year I have been enjoying doing some plein air painting of landscapes and Seascapes, and am also really enjoying making abstracts of various types, love the many forms of abstract expression, as well as the fluid art of Dutch pouring, and the Geodes. I have been published in many Artist books and among the critiques I received here's what some say about my work "a unique blend of fashion and landscape painting, brought to life by a talented artist. With a background in fashion design, the artist, Maryha in art, Maria Rosaria by name, in her studio Juxtapose-Art brings a fresh perspective to the world of landscape painting. In addition to stunning landscapes, Juxtapose Art also creates interesting abstracts, flow art, beautiful geodes, and other captivating pieces.
