About Maria Zalfen-Lenz
"There is nothing more exciting for me than creative challenges. The variety of art techniques, materials and themes are what make my artwork so productive."
Maria Zalfen-Lenz, born in 1967 in Marmagen, Germany, has been a freelance artist and full-time graphic designer with her own studio for commercial art, illustration, and painting since 1994. Her pictorial preference lies in the depiction of the living. Straightforward and direct - with a clear view of the actual motif.
"VARIOUS" is the title of one of her solo exhibitions - translated: diverse, multiple, multifaceted. Attributes that fully apply to the artist's pictorial works. She offers an impressive range of works in watercolours, scratchings (similar to reverse painting on glass), graphics and oil paintings. For more than 35 years, her artworks have found numerous enthusiasts in changing solo and group exhibitions.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art that has been personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolours, drawing, etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there exist the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a type of modern art, that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
In the history of arts, the starting point of this trend was the work "Les Meules" (1890/1891) by Claude Monet, in which for the first time a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
