Maria Gust ( * 1956 )
Brief Biography of Maria Gust
"In my paintings, I enjoy using contrasts: circles compete with squares and rectangles, smoothness against texture, line against surface. Painting, troweling, scratching... building up, destroying, and rebuilding. The color as a material itself is already motivation and drive.
I start my paintings with a certain idea, but this is often changed by the painting process or is entirely lost in favor of a new path that is pursued. Many layers often overlap; sometimes entire images disappear under what later wants to grow on it. The process of change is thus an important and often consciously visible element of my work, as it shows the past, present, and perhaps even a piece of the future.
In terms of content, the painting sometimes lives out of itself in purposeless compositions of colors and shapes, sometimes an object from everyday life pushes into the foreground. Politics and society, but also seemingly banal circumstances around me influence and challenge me.
The titles of my paintings reflect my own associations at the time of naming. However, everyone is completely free to seek and find other meanings in my works."
