Observing creation in nature, Anaxagoras / Lavoisier are right. However, in an art: a lot is lost, everything is recycling and everything is freedom for re- creation. In this manner, my paintings are where: 1)nature is transformed, is represented as I feel it; 2)anything and/or everything are put together and 3)religious dogmas / technical discussions are irrelevant.
By putting things together, i.e. trying to become a collagist, I became a FUSIONIST, not a confusionist*. I paint to say things in my way. My paintings are materialisation of my personal experiences. In my images and in function of their personal experiences, people can understand the things I say. Is it the simplest form of human exchange?
With my way of saying things, I want to:
push Cezanne forward,
make Dadaism beautiful,
make Van Gogh peaceful,
daydream with surrealism,
make Picasso feminine,
make a softer kitsch than Pierre & Giles,
find the expression from the Maya’s “primary art**”,
have a message on a support,
show nature as it is, not to cover body parts hypocritically  (like the altered Christ in the last judgment from Michelangelo)
try to make you to wish hanging one of my piece of art, at your place.
Truly,
Maia
* From confusion. Somebody who deals, distributes confusion; somebody who is confusing, who does not make sense.
* * Not primitive art but Primary art, as in: the first, the beginning, the before all, pure feelings, pure freedom.
