  Biography of Maria Luisa Sanz

  The Spanish painter, illustrator and screen print artist Maria Luisa Sanz was born in Madrid in 1946. She studied at the School of Fine Arts in her native city.
  The colors applied in flat tints are from the purest tradition of pop-art. Her clean and perfect drawing often reveals an ironic inspiration. His compositions in different planes, fragments of reality with a passion for current events, correspond to a contemporary look.
  The artist has found a way, a trend and a style, getting rid of clichés and reflecting what she considered her environment.
  This plastic universe opts for a visual sensation in which the color is the index of the selected elements and gives Maria Luisa Sanz the essential attributes she needs, an apparent game of precisions becomes the mechanism for creating images, sometimes disconcerting but precise. One cannot ignore in her creative process a playful dynamism that fragments, cuts, shuffles and suggests, but also criticizes, underlines artifices and deceptions.Maria Luisa Sanz is of course inspired by her travels, but also by cinema, comics and manga with a language tinged with a certain oriental influence, recreating with vitality personal compositions.It should be noted that the artist has made a set of silver jewelry. Maria Luisa Sanz lived in Paris for six years; a great traveler (India, Italy, China, Hong Kong, Mexico, etc.), she felt she belonged in a thousand different places.
