Accidental Art: The works of Maria Seoane

Here is a little peak at Maria Seoane's Artwork. Her show was amazing... she has such a fun personality and is such a great person to work with. At this time Maria is working on pieces of similar nature to those shown below however, she is very interested in doing commission work. If you are at all interested please do contact me.

The following is my review of Maria's Artwork it is NOT her artist statement although it is based off conversation I have had with her.

Maria Seoane’s work has an alluring style that is consistent throughout all of her pieces. Her soft color tones and smooth figures tend to illicit a sense of tranquility however, the narrative within each piece tells that of a different nature. 
         Maria’s ceramic sculptures gained the name “Accidental Art” because they were not preconceived images. Rather, they were born from trial and error much like we all are throughout our lives. This idea is similar to the process of making ceramics. A piece of clay is selected kneaded, beaten, added too and taken away from, fired and glazed until it is something beautiful.
         In each one of Maria’s pieces a stage of life is being addressed whether it is a beginning, ending, a moment of desperation or of peaceful relaxation. One can easily pin these moments from the expressions the figures carry on their faces and through their posture. These pieces are unique and a clever way of picturing life’s brutality along side it’s most precious moments. 

"Pleading and Bargaining"

"Spanish Stairs"

"Ernesto"

"Letting Go"
Well thats all for now so in the words of Maria's incredibly cute granddaughter Lila.... "happy art day"
