Maria de Vries
(b.1955) Dutch artist
The sophisticated work of Maria de Vries speaks
for itself. Well known for her feminine chic paintings and her
contrasting work of animals and children Maria has a distinctly
recognisable style.
As the artist comments, her paintings are born,
not made. From her materials and paints a gradual harmonisation
occurs for a full-bodied result. In her paintings,
the emotions from the subject blend into the environment, becoming
more of a feeling than a recognisable form.
Her environment contains three diverse themes: People:
young and old, in relation to each other, or in relation to the
witness. Animals: limousins, that over many years she has helped
rear. Nature; in particular the Peelstreek area, where she now
lives and works. The explosive growing interest in Dutch work, and
a recent increased interest in impasto paintings has created a strong demand for the work
of Maria de Vries. Her original work
can be seen in leading independent art galleries across Europe. |
