Maria Lo Presti

Continuously looking for a personal style enlivened by different techniques and materials, I love surrealism, impressionism, naive style, pop art, muralism. I play with materials and this is how acrylic, oil, plaster and collage meet and brush and spatula alternate with bare hands, inspiring new shapes and indelible imprints on canvas and wood. Always fascinated by the gaze, I have learned over time to look at the eye from many perspectives, it has always been considered the mirror of the soul, it certainly reflects the most hidden fears and emotional nuances and as we know, it is worth a thousand words. Through my gaze I sometimes tell of legends or stories of characters who lived in the past or of current stories or of faces existing only in my imagination with a colorful language also thanks to the influence of the Sicilian culture which has nourished me since I was born until today.
