About the Item
Maria Poroy (American, born 1952)
"Mardi Gras" 2024
Acrylic Paint, Canvas, Stretcher Bars
The artist signed the bottom left and bottom middle of the painting.
'Mardi Gras' by Maria Poroy is an invigorating abstract acrylic painting that captures the essence and vibrancy of the famous festival. This painting is a lively composition of interlocking shapes and explosive color splashes. The artwork uses a palette that ranges from deep purples and earthy browns to vibrant greens and shocking pinks, reflecting the traditional colors associated with Mardi Gras. Poroy’s 'Mardi Gras' is more than a visual experience; it is an invitation to revel in the festivity and spontaneity of one of the world's most exuberant celebrations, captured through the lens of abstract art.
Artist Statement:
"I have traveled the world and live in beautiful California, but I have also been inspired by poetry and the patterns and textures found in old buildings. Sometimes I dream a painting before I paint it, sometimes I have a concept, but the painting takes over and goes somewhere else.
I am inspired by the masters of the past and so many brilliant living artists I have been honored to learn from. Often asked to demo, people are intrigued by the colors and textures in my work. I prefer acrylic and mixed media because many layers dry quickly and I can manipulate the paint with brushes, my hands, and a collection of unusual tools. I love the spontaneity of large brushes and dripping paint. I enjoy experiments with the media and often incorporate several in a painting. For me it's not about the media so much as getting the effect I want." - Maria Poroy

Maria Poroy is an acclaimed Abstract Expressionist whose art opens new perspectives and evokes cherished memories. Her work transforms tangible subjects into vivid expressions where color is the primary language, influenced by her travels and life in picturesque California. Poroy's art captures the essence of resonant subjects, from rustic barns to delicate flowers, using acrylics and mixed media to explore texture and form. Her approach is spontaneous, employing brushes, her hands, and unconventional tools to manipulate layers quickly and achieve the desired effects. Despite early recognition in her teens, Poroy pursued an MBA and a corporate career before a life-altering accident refocused her on art. Today, her work is featured in private and corporate collections both in the US and internationally. Maria continually draws inspiration from past masters and her contemporaries, enriching her vibrant, textured compositions. "I have traveled the world and live in beautiful California but have also been inspired by poetry and the patterns and textures found in old buildings. Sometimes I dream a painting before I paint it, Sometimes I have a concept but the painting takes over and goes somewhere else.
