“Maia Ștefana Oprea combines this unique artistic practice with a bespoke lifestyle, cultivating sustainably and eco the art of living and creating.” (writes Ana Daniela Sultana in “The eco art of living and creating”, 2020) In March 2020 I have started a visual journal, drawing thoughts and feelings in relation to living closer to nature, isolation, my understanding of this strange world as well as to my readings about ecology and permaculture. "WAKE UP ANIMISTS" was inspired both by the figure of Hundertwasser and a podcast "A conversation with Dr.Monica Gagliano" about her book "Thus Spoke the Plant" which I am eager to read. Here is the excrept from the chapter about DIRT> The longer I live the more I have the feeling that I must contribute to restore the dirt, just by being a little bit more dirty than others. Of course, I wash myself like others, but I don't see why the windows should be blank and sterile, why the toilet should be sprayed with poison ? This is dangerous not only for us but for the environment. Extreme cleanliness is one big part of the reason why our environment is poisoned, why our forests are dying. ( chapter about Dirt, Hundertwasser, 'Spiraling Ideas', by Harry Rand)

Painting is located in the center of my artistic interests, and through it I investigate concepts of time, memory, absence, waste, decay, violence, identity, subjectivity and vulnerability The purpose behind my latest artwork (painting-graphics, collage, assemblage) is to explore the expressive properties of paint and other materials through physical and poetic processes, following the development of a personal dialogue in between thoughts and colors, emotions and memories, lines and gestures, hesitations and decisions. Desiring to pull the viewer from representation, I like to draw attention to the painting process and to many painterly 'imperfections', which can be clearly visible in the works. My paintings are often built up in layers, during long periods of time, through a process of recording and analysing natural forms, shapes and objects which I make myself, or my own manipulated photographs. These visual sources often resonate with my old drawings and sketches, which are in turn incorporated in the future paintings. The brushwork experiments in the studio and the repetitive structural forms found in my environment become a language of my work. If I were to synthesize in a sole phrase what characterises my interventions, steps, installations and artworks of the media I have experimented so far (photography, video, performance, installation, sculpture), I would say that they are all somewhat self-referential. Self-referential in the sense that my work doesn't demonstrate nor does it present the functioning of structures belonging to the territory of the real. But rather it embraces these structures, interrogates them, in the pursue of a visual expression where reality and imaginary, conscience and unconscious, life and death stop being felt as incompatible. www.maiaoprea.ro/en http://maiastefanaoprea.wordpress.com
