MARIA MOSQUERA
Maria Pia Mosquera is a Colombian-born artist and designer, based in Sydney. She works in various media including painting, drawing, fabric and paper constructions.
Her recent work explores our ambiguous relationship with death through imagery that challenges the macabre with whimsical humour, making wry reference to the aesthetics of medieval and early colonial art and using the folkloric symbolism of Hispanic culture to build narratives from a time when the power of the supernatural to intervene in our lives was taken to be self-evident.
