Emerald Landscape experiment 3 Artwork - Limited Edition of 100

Maria Agni Stroka is a contemporary multimedia artist who combines photography and digital composition with the more traditional media of drawing and painting. As a qualified master etcher and an alchemist at heart, she enjoys experimenting with both ideas and processes. She is an obsessive observer and the primary tools in her creative practice, while ‘on the move’, are camera lens and sketchbook. Journaling merges her passion for reading and research with her need for visual expression. She describes herself as a collector of ‘now’ moments and abstractions. These collections, both physical and intangible, are then curated, reconsidered, and later processed in a studio environment. She works with her sources, using digital devices as well as tactile tools and materials like paint, scissors, glue, gold leaf, found objects, etc. There are no rules or limitations concerning materials and techniques: spontaneity and intuition are paramount. Her work represents an exciting spectrum of media driven by conceptual ideas primarily rooted in Integral Theory. This is based on the idea that reality is multifaceted and that different perspectives, worldviews, and dimensions must be considered to gain a more complete understanding of any subject. It provides a holistic approach to knowledge and problem-solving, emphasising the integration of multiple perspectives rather than reductionism or one-sided viewpoints. By her own admission, she often feels misunderstood, and the Integral philosophy substantiates her ideas and understanding of the world that she has carried with her since early childhood.
