In 2007, Maria moved to Berlin immediately after graduating from high school. Here she developed the style that reflects her positive attitude towards life. She describes her painting style as "popstract", a mixture of "pop art" and "abstract". Her painting process often begins with an imprint of her left hand. Flowing colors with a grid structure form the framework for the individual motif, usually a face or body. In this process, Maria creates a close connection between art and life: There is always the option of taking the brush into your own hands and actively shaping life.
