Over Maria Asiain..

Born in Madrid, the daughter of a father who was a cabinetmaker, for many years I remembered the different scents of varnish used to make furniture by hand. 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 diverse and depend on my mood. However, nature, landscapes and Spain and its folklore are close to my heart.

My techniques are also very varied, from abstract to figurative.

Exhibitions :

• In 2014 at the WABO cultural centre in Watermael-Boitsfort
• In 2016 in Namur, at the S’Pace gallery
• In 2023 in Namur, at the S’Pace gallery
