About Paméla Maria

I research the relation between (the Dutch) landscape and abstraction. The beauty of the Dutch landscape has been an important source of inspiration for many Dutch painters before me. I continue to work on that in my own 'handwriting'. “my eye is caught by details in the (urban) landscape, whereby colour and light on the skin of things is characteristic of my translation of reality. Zooming in on the endless wealth of colour shades, patterns, structures, light. Something I intuitively but especially investigative use, whereby compositional structure takes place in the contrived tension between geometric constructed surfaces and intuitive forms created." Colour and more specifically colour shades play an essential role in this process. The seemingly flat surface hereby becomes a reliëf with multiple dimensions.” The works depict how these impressions slide over each other and yield new compositions. Details where color and light on the skin of things is characteristic for the translation of reality.
