About Maria Arias

Maria Arias is a Venezuelan-French artist living in Houten, where she has found a deep sense of home in this open and welcoming environment.

In 2007, she read about a heartbreaking exhibition in which a starving dog was used as "art." That moment changed her life forever. She launched several campaigns to help stray animals in Venezuela and organized sterilization programs from the Netherlands. However, after witnessing immense cruelty, she decided to contribute to animal welfare in a different way.

About this Artwork

40x50cm Acrylic in Ampersand Claybord Panel shows an elephant standing against a breathtaking African sunset outlined by warm hues. The elephant symbolizes strength, expressing that we are powerful and everything we seek is already inside us. We need to view ourselves with reverence.

Jury report “Painting of the year 2024”

Almost a photograph, but just barely. The artist understands well how to translate a photograph into a painting. With
lots of different techniques. Wonderful how the cool colours stand out against the warm background. It must not
have been an easy job to paint the folds of skin. It looks convincing. Light and dark are important in this work.
Nothing is too light and nothing is too dark. The pleasure with which this work has been created splashes off the
board. It calls for many more beautiful works, carefully painted like this elephant. Keep up the good work.
