About this artwork
‘Maria’ is part of the ‘Birds’ series. I have chosen several women, either famous or not, and placed them in front of opulent backgrounds. Inspired by an old friend, it was painted from a photo taken in the seventies. A detailed, floral background with birds was then added. Her pose is dreamlike, her dress is soft and the florals are vivid. It was painted on 300gsm watercolour paper (48.8cm x 65.8cm) using watercolour, acrylic, pastel and marker. It needs to be matted and framed behind glass.

About the artist
Mixed-media artist. Color lover. Storyteller. Born and raised in South Africa and now living in Cyprus, I hold a degree in Fine Art from the University of the Witwatersrand. I paint in acrylic, pastel, watercolor, pencil, and ink. Canvas and wood often feature but paper is my first love. Working primarily from photos, I often manipulate images digitally to create a new composition and then paint. I’ve exhibited in Cyprus, London, and Athens and my collectors live in countries around the world.
