Culinary imaginary is often a safe-place. Depictions of food are usually placed in the realm of still life. They are a comfortable subject. But is that always the case? Hypertrophied, gruesomely oversized, engorged platters full to the brim of steaming food populate, horrify, dominate and devour the imaginary of the hungry. But never is their power greater then over those who go hungry beyond anyone else's control. Eating disorders are a very specific type of torture, sometimes crueler then famine. My series dwells on the culinary phantasms of those who go hungry of their own accord, unable to escape. I chose to use felt tips and colored markers because they to control every mark, and to build largescale images out of small individual dashes of color (little bites perhaps...). It is a technique mostly used for small sized art and illustration and it is often associated with children's art, and it is precisely for that that I felt it could provide me with the control as well as the comforting feeling of familiarity and homeliness that would allow me to "tame" a theme that was for a long time to large to chew.

Maria I. Oancea is an artist who simply adores playing with the sensorial quality of art. Suggestion is both her mastery and one of her greater joys. Another is the human form, the organic lines and structures of motion and of life. The irresistible irrepressible feeling of life pulsating within. Her works dwell on the fragile and voluptuous tension between content and form. Her main purpose, wish and challenge is to test art's possibility to produce enthusiasm - a brutal and tempestuous desire to live. It is therefore a Dionysian art that captures and merges and draws on one aspect that is Apollonian: the figurative. Maria I. Oancea's works and style have been associated with those of Francis Bacon, Toulouse Lautrec and Ernst Kirchner, influences that she finds extremely honoring.
