María Duque
Colombian artist María Duque is inspired by the influence of digital media on painting, as well as the vibrancy and materiality of paint itself. Focusing on abstraction and composition, she creates preparatory sketches in Procreate to test format, shape and colour before bringing these drafts to life on canvas. Her smooth backgrounds recall the virtual immateriality of our screens, while splashes of paint pull us back into the beauty of our energetic and vivacious physical world.
"Painting has texture, it's something tangible that we can touch, we have control over it. Yet we can't eliminate all of its spontaneity. And this spontaneity can't be replaced by a digital brush in a software program. Paint brings us closer to all that is physical, all that is real - it moves us away from the neat superficiality of our screens."
"So colourful! I am so pleased with my print, the quality is excellent and it arrived within the time frame given. I would definitely recommend Studio Parga."
Very stylish and unique art prints! I ordered a beautiful, very colourful piece and love it! The order came on time, intact - it’s just perfect
