b. 1972
“I would love my art to lift the burden for a moment, to reflect peace and overflow, to bring focus again on the simplicity of live and love”.
Maria Magdalena Oosthuizen paints figurative portraits that attempt to capture a sense of innocence and beauty.
She hopes that her works pay tribute both to her devotion to God and her belief in the intrinsic goodness of the people of this world.
She creates balanced, harmonic compositions with great detail. Her focus on the interplay of light and shadow in her work helps to underscore the idea that light has the power to expel darkness and reveal the goodness and abundance in life.
Without any training, knowledge or background in art, she has made a real name for herself, revealing an intrinsic talent.
