STATEMENT AND CRITICS STATEMENT I live and work in Athens. Through an oniric aspect of life, my work gives the liberty to the spectator to read and interpret in his own way. I seek beauty and equilibrium in nature CRITICS Born in Athens. Magor in comparative literature of the 20th century. She is original and does not go with the current and fashions. Always experimenting, she dares and pursues her own evolution through source options. Maria is a deeply philosophical person with education and so much personal work in self-awareness and self-improvement. Gentle, but powerful, low-key but effective. Sensual and selective before a stimulus she unravels her inspiration, and finds a way to give to her work all the freshness of her insight, free from exaggeration, focusing on the substance and capturing the magic that emerges, as revealed only to those who see with the eyes of the soul, below the surface. Her infinite tenderness is then transformed into art, and her colors have tons of the emotional shock of the artist according to her subjetc. She has an artistic personality, her own style, and definitely an upward path. Katerina Sakalak Consultant Communication & Aesthetic Applications, newspaper and Art Critic [...] Matala's painting impressed me because he has a personal style. Buoyed by the simplicity and expressive power which stem from the incredible delicacy and sensibility of the creator. The viewer participates when standing in front of the neoclassical ruin, that continues standing upright, to listen to the story the building has to tell. So, the painter gives us a tour in this world of silence to understand the meaning, the size and importance of it. Still she gives us to understand, the whole theme of her work, painting the common ground. [...] To conclude this brief reference to the work of Maria Matala, I would say that the beautiful picture of this sensitive exhibition is a result of her sensitivity and knowledge, directly related to the soul of the creator, which pervades literally her painting expression.
