Maria Vyrra

“Over the last two years through my painting I explore the relationship between the fluidity of the environment and the degraded form, whether it is a human body or other elements that seem to have an organic substance in the painting environment. The spaces often give an atmospheric, almost calm feeling. In this state of calm, the wind does not blow at all, it is the absence of conflicts just before they come, it is the absence of mental tension. But here, through the painting layers that emerge as layers on top of each other, they create the appropriate space for a final level to come, this time of the central form, either schematic or human, that will create the conflicting relationship with the quiet environment. In my paintings quite often the central theme of the works is the human and the emotional charge that the image may manifest, the interaction with the quiet space and how the limits of balance between them are achieved. That is, the intervention of the human stigma in places that in themselves seem ideal and quite. Is existence alone enough to solve the possibility of peace or does it just create more problems while calm would seem like an ideal situation?” www.mariavyrra.com
