Maria Vinuesa

I was borned in Spain and raised in France. I live since many years with my family in Munich, Germany, where I have my own studio.
My art has been nourished by the different cultural sources of my identity (Spain, France, Germany) and describes a dialog between me with this plurality and the canvas. Each of my artworks describes an encounter, a journey to my inner world and back again to a new space of freedom, looking for something that wants to see the light, wants to be born, needing a form, an expression. As an artist, I am supposed to be the channel, gathering impulses from inside and outside of myself in order to transform them and give to them a visible form.

Giving birth to something new takes several stages and implies a very precise look and awareness about what is happening on the canvas: a subtile interaction between purposeless and intuitiv painting together whith the necessary control of colours, composition, graphics and materials….

I´ve been drawing and painting since my early childwood, and I learned very soon to exercise my perception, to train my look at the world around me. I remember also having caught fire for artistic expression very soon !

After my pedagogy studies in France, I started a four years long Art-Therapy-study at the IKT-Munich under the direction of Prof. Gertraud Schottenloher. I finished with the graduate degree as an Art-Therapist.
