about the artist's works

The ability to work with various materials and the sensitivity to fragment them causes a set of signals entering into compositions full of vegetation, darkness and light, in which the extraordinary use and handling of colour together with the various techniques of paper, oil, acrylic, cardboard, dry leaves, enamels, etc., reveals the artist's search through an intimate landscape that shows her way of understanding life and art. María Ortega Estepa develops her work in different media and is closely linked to the social field. Since 2012 she teaches courses in Art and Social Intervention in different Universities of Andalusia.
