about maria
Maria Lunetto, a Berlin-based independent textile artist and behavioural scientist, explores various aspects of the inter- and intrapersonal in her bodies of work. This includes universal themes such as the complexity of connections between friends, families, and lovers, alongside reflections on her personal journey as an emerging artist navigating the depths of the art world. Drawing inspiration from her surroundings and inner reflections, Maria channels these experiences into her art, crafting pieces that invite viewers into realms of contemplation and immersion, fostering personal introspection and engagement.
Maria's artistic style is characterized by meticulous attention to detail and a minimalist approach. In her presentations, she aims to encapsulate the essence of her project themes with subtlety, avoiding overtly literal expressions in favour of moderate abstraction. Working across various forms, from sculptures to traditional wall art and installations, Maria's intuition guides her creative process, allowing the meaning of her works to unfold organically. By embracing locally sourced materials, including fabric, flora, paper, or repurposed plastic, Maria imbues her artwork with deeper meaning through their histories. Avoiding "brand new" materials in favour of those with a prior life, she adds an element of environmental consciousness to her artistry.
These materials invite viewers to relate to her work in various ways, connecting with the stories embedded within each component.
Through her approach, Maria hopes not only to convey her own intentions but also to trigger reflection and interpretation, prioritizing the conveyance of emotions and compositions that evoke a profound sense of connection and contemplation.
