ABOUT …MARIA ANTONIA ASIAIN
Born in Madrid, the daughter of a father who was a cabinet-maker, for many years I remembered the different scents of varnish used in handcrafted furniture. Later, however, a small painter’s case, carefully kept and containing various bottles of varnish and turpentine, didn’t make me decide to follow my passion: painting.
2005 was the decisive year when I enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Watermael-Boitsfort and obtained my certificate of qualification in May 2012.
Since 2010, I’ve been working in the studio of painter and sculptor Victoria Calleja, whose constant motivation to stimulate my desire to paint has given me a sense of commitment to painting. In parallel, in 2014, I spent 1 year with the late painter Max Morton in Schaerbeek, where I discovered other techniques, in particular the use of pigments.
In 2017-2020, enrolled at the Dinant academy, several techniques such as lithography, screen printing, engraving, sculpture, drawing, oil painting and the use of pigments, etc… were an artistic discovery.
“My inspirations are varied and depend on my mood.
For the moment, nature and the universe in both abstract and figurative forms are close to my heart. However, my attachment to women’s faces and to the expressions of life has been with me since the beginning and continues to be part of my projects.
My techniques are also very varied: ecoline, walnut stain, acrylic, gesso, oil, pigments and many other products and materials.
Deciding to exhibit is a difficult decision for me, but now that I’ve gained some experience and have recently moved to this beautiful region, I’m ready to take the plunge. However, here are a few examples of where my work has been exhibited
