María Maggiori (Argentina, 1975) constructs landscapes of imaginary lands in her work. Through reinvented cartography, where nature emerges in black and white, the artist unfolds dreamlike, unsettling, and enigmatic scenarios that, nevertheless, feel strangely familiar. Her compositions oscillate between the real and the fantastic, evoking an ancestral memory that seems to dwell in the depths of our perception.
Her artistic practice encompasses diverse disciplines—drawing, painting, installation, and performance—that intertwine in a constant quest to explore the links between body, space, nature, and perception.
With a solid art background developed primarily in France and Argentina, Maggiori has made brush drawing her most intimate language. The subtle lines that emerge from her strokes, close to Eastern traditions, convey a sense of suspended time. Each work reveals a meticulous, almost meditative process, in tune with the rhythm of a present that invites contemplation. His aesthetic is inscribed in a silent but powerful gesture, capable of opening portals to parallel worlds, as possible as they are poetic.
