Argentinian by nature New Yorker by heart, Maria Paula Rennis came to the US on a Fulbright Scholarship for her master’s at Pratt Institute. She started studying painting at The Art Students League of NY and discovered her love of figurative painting.
She created a new vocabulary for one’s perception of the human form. This is a perception that abstracts the figure into the elements of color, light, shadow and movement in a superlative yet harmonious way.
Not afraid to reframe the familiar, she seeks to challenge the viewer’s perspective of the human form and its relationship to the known.
