Grino Maria | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Using a palette of mainly acrylic and ink, Maria executes an infinite number of curves to sometimes create incredible hair, or sometimes to bring innumerable patterns to life, all embellished with shimmering colours. Paying particular attention to details and textures, the painter, through her mostly female portraits, tries to account for all the ideas that swarm in her subjects’ head, symbolised by a profusion of elements escaping from their heads to form a lush hairstyle. While the mouth, small and mute, is relatively discreet, a single eye always appears wide open to the outside world. True odes to femininity, the muses of Maria testify to a style as recognisable as unmistakeable, combining voluptuousness, grace and sweetness, thus dragging us to the confines of reality.
