About Maria Verde Muniesa NAME: MARIA VERDE MUNIESA ( For available Prints or Originals kindly ask ) I has spent several years drawing and painting realistic portraits and nature- Influenced by the day by day, an initial stage of watercolors of buildings and historic cities while travelling, was followed by depictions of dancers. As always fascinated by the sea and the underwater animals, I painted the waves, the skies, the Mediterranean posidonias, …trying to reflect the sentiment of freedom and peace, mindfulness and connection with nature that I experiment. Obsessed by the light and captivated by the liquidity and instantaneousness, uniqueness of the watercolor, in an attempt to produce a figurative painting minimalist and simple, together with complex and pure, as I see this watercolor technique. Subtle and with many possibilities in its many nuances and details , I play with the pigments throughout the tone range. This happens also in my paintings of butterflies, where movement and fluidity are the “leitmotiv” too. I take inspirations of travels, nature, life, and artists like Rothko, Yayoi Kusama. Goya, or movies. Less Education: Autodidact Painter - GB MAA.

"In this series of butterflies watercolours works, in some of them, more than 100 different colours "co-exist in harmony" in the same watercolour. That means more than 100 layers, using transparency and a not standard use of watercolour, being the colours more saturated than in a traditional application of watercolour. That brings more shiny, intense and dazzling colours. Conceptually, represents a wish for freedom and sensitivity. In contemporary art perspective: Butterflies have been for decades collected in boxes, open wings, dead. They should be free in nature. These ones are represented as in those boxes, but alive and trying to fly away. Wings Flapping and light going through them, half white to represent delicacy and the moment. The inks are natural drawings of butterflies, other insects, worms and flowers from the country of Luxembourg, I started the series during I lived there."
