Splash into Blue I Painting

Maria Bacha is a Greek artist currently living in London and studying at the Royal College of Art for a Master of Fine Art (MFA Arts and Humanities). "Nature, light and color are my greatest inspirations. I always want to search more about the sea of my subconscious and to find better connections with the collective unconscious. During my working process I feel like a medium. I transmit my experiences, my sense of independence and my emotions and then I go back to my creation and observe. This is a liberating experience that helps me become more aware of my existence in this life. I feel that my development as an artist is moving along with my emotional and spiritual growth. I hope viewers of my work find their own references. I am always happy to touch people' s sensitivity and especially young people's. I believe that awareness about our existence has the power to lead us to positive changes. I really hope my art provokes more awareness, love and respect into this world”. Maria earned her BA in Studio Arts from the University of La Verne, California, she studied next to the Greek painter Michalis Veloudios, attended courses at RISD and MOMA and was the Head Art Teacher for ten years at the Hadzivei Elementary School. She illustrated books for the Greek public school and she created many set designs for children's theatrical plays. She is also a member of the Greek Chamber of Fine Arts. Maria now focuses exclusively on her art. Works by Maria Bacha are in private collections worldwide. Also, the Greek Ministry of Culture purchased her artwork in 2020 and to date, her works have been shown at solo, group exhibitions and prestigious art fairs in Greece, London and Los Angeles.
