“My work finds its fulfillment in the eyesof the observer. I achieve my goal through the questions viewers ask themselves while looking at my paintings. Sometimes I observe people as they look at my works and try to perceive the emotions they evoke in them.”
Maria Ditaranto is an esteemed contemporary painter and graphic designer; born in Putignano (Bari), but living in Basilicata.. She exhibited in 2011 in the Italian Pavilion (Basilicata Region) at the 54th Venice Biennale.
Her art focuses on experimentation and profound inner exploration, constantly navigating the boundary between tangible reality and a dreamlike, unconscious dimension.
Art critic Rino Cardone describes her works as veritable “meditation castles,” rich in pictograms and visual signs that transcend consciousness to draw directly from the primordial archetype of nature.
