“I want to express myself, my love, my dreams, my life-experience through all of my works and showing something positive to the viewer...I think there is enough trouble and “dark things” in everybody’s life; the duty of an artist to lead the viewer away from all of them, giving some hope...but trying not to be too “sweet”! I try to keep my very strong, critical view towards my own works, too. In my 32 years of painting experience, I went through all different learning phases. I’m always trying to develop my own style without joining any “isms”… I’m painting always a bit differently, leading by the medium and the theme. Though in every way, I try to show something warm, human and positive…”Maria Varga Hansen
