MARIA ESCALONA
(Malaga, Spain 1980)
Superior Technician in Advertising Graphics, School of Plastic Arts and Design “San Telmo”, Málaga.
After her studies, she begins to train in the workshop of the painter Pedro Escalona, in the modality of drawing, painting and engraving.
She starts painting, focusing mainly on portraits in 2003. For several years, she works with the Nolde Gallery and experiences the different options of the figure with different techniques and manipulated papers.
Starting on 2009, she develops the landscape, a pictorial process that takes her thematically to the world of the horizon, the fog and the study of clouds.
