L’artiste sélectionne minutieusement ses motifs parmis des photos issues de ses propres shooting où se trouvent des interactions entre les personnages dans des territoires ensoleillés. Elle représente ces clichés en peinture à l’huile sur toile, en les recadrant et sélectionnant ses couleurs. Sa touche est emprunte de ce que sa vue a digéré, son ressenti à filtré. S’établit un processus créatif pour traduire la lumière et les mouvements des personnages. Dans ses œuvres la lumière a fonction de composition. La peintre décrit la lumière et le mouvement de façon radicale. Elle théâtralise, sacralise une réalité d’apparence banale. L’univers pictural de Fairfeld Porter l’inspire dans la recherche du motif et de la composition de ses peintures. Son geste est dans la lignée de celui de peintres néo expressionnistes allemands des années 80, caractérisé par une franche liberté d’expression. Le médium peinture ne s’éfface pas derrière le motif. Il est garant d’un choix subjectif qu’elle établit face à son modèle.

Graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Lisbon, a semester in Accademia di Brera Milan, Master in Fine Arts at the Chelsea College of Art & Design UAL, London. Maria has been working exclusively at her studio for the past ten years, showing her work in London, Lisbon and Oporto in several group and individual exhibitions. It's in the studio that she finds her identity and works to justify her existence. It's also here that she compulsively reads, writes and paints. Her work draws significant inspiration from literature, aiming to reflect on the duality of woman's life - the contrast between the profession and the domestic role as a family caregiver. She explores the contemporary female experience, celebrating the boldness of womanhood. Saunders has received recognition as a Signature Art Prize Finalist at Old Spitafields Market in London and was the finalist for São ou Não at Galeria São Mamede in Lisbon. More recently, she has been expanding her studio work and working as a Montessori Art Guide at Kairos Montessori School, with children between 6 and 12 years old.

Feros (Serhii Hrekh) is a contemporary artist working in Ukraine. In his early career, he used the cityscape of Lviv, Ukraine as a canvas, creating graffiti works known for their bold use of color and shape. His raw and rebellious style gained recognition locally and beyond, with each mural telling a unique story inspired by personal experiences and societal issues.
