In Maria’s work, one can appreciate a creative freedom that extends beyond what a student can learn and transforms the human body into its own experience.

It draws its empathy from this end, and although the human body is present, she construes it as a vague recollection, and this gives her the freedom to interpret the original with attractive forms whose parts form a greater sum when articulated in the context of the entire piece. The eurhythmics continue to resonate because she has endowed the creation with credibility and harmony.

Her approach to sculpture combines organic forms with Cubist concepts and even, in some, the memory of an ancient, Paleolithic Venus. These elements give rise to works of art that are physical representations of her truth.
