Portfolio
Maria is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores softness, devotion, and the quiet politics of care.
Through abstraction, symbolism, and the female form, her practice examines what is overlooked, under-valued, or deemed unworthy of reverence.
Her work invites viewers to slow down, reconnect with their inner world, and consider self-worship as a radical and necessary act.
No More Martyrdom
No More Martyrdom reinterprets the Sacred Heart, a familiar icon of Catholic devotion, through a contemporary lens. Drawing on a traditional Italian upbringing, the work shifts the symbol away from suffering and towards illumination — reframing endurance, vulnerability, and care as acts of quiet resistance rather than sacrifice.
Underworshiped Club
This work explores the underworshiped state of female-presenting bodies in a culture that profits from their labor while denying them reverence. Through softness, abstraction, and presence, the figure becomes both intimate and defiant. The piece invites viewers to reconsider devotion — and to place themselves at the center of their own care.
Our star employee
Pip the messenger pigeon!
Pip used to carry mail the old way. Flying every day. Every and any route.
And then one day, the work stopped. The world changed. Messages moved faster. Hands stopped waiting by the door.
Pip was laid off. Not because he wasn’t good at what he did — but because the world forgot how much it needed slow messages.
For a while, Pip wasn’t sure what to do with his wings.
So Pip reinvented himself.
Now he delivers only what truly matters: notes meant to be kept, words meant to be felt, and small objects that hold memory and meaning.
Because the world doesn't need more speed - it needs more care.
