Maria Breitfuss

Maria Breitfuss, known as The Soul Diver, is a self-taught painter from Saalbach in the Austrian Alps. Her multi-layered acrylic works are created intuitively, without preliminary sketches, from a single inner calling rather than a preconceived concept. Veils of color and abstract-expressionist gestures repeatedly touch upon the figurative, simultaneously conveying stillness and elemental energy. In recurring series, she makes invisible energies and inner states palpable, opening a space in which the viewer encounters something wordless within themselves. Her works are held in private and corporate collections, including flexinno GmbH and Prodinger.
