Maria Arias from Powered by Artwork Original Artworks: Paintings and drawings inspired by Animals
Sale worldwide
Yes! i can paint your I love animals so much! I must say, he is a big inspiration.

I was born in Venezuela and I started painting at the age of 8 years old. Because of the hard schedule of the school I went, at the age of 12 I stopped painting. I followed engineering studies and graduated in 2003, next year I was moving to France, running away from the chaos in my country and leaving everything behind. France was a long history, I will just summarize that I arrived with nothing,

not even the knowledge of the French language and finish doing a master and a PhD in chemistry. I had an animal companion always, since I have 4 years old, I don’t think I could be the happy person I am today without the love of animals. In 2007, I moved to the Netherlands where I found my home. When my previous cat passed away I did some healing and animal communication curses. I start painting again and I adopted a new cat Toby…you will see Toby in many paintings. When I paint an animal the eyes is the most important part, through the eyes I feel connected to the animal, I can feel, send and share the love!. Animals are unconditional love. I want that when you have a painting from me you feel an increase of happiness in your life, that you can sit relax looking at it and that a smile will be drawn on your face
Thank you for reading this, it shows that you are also a sensitive person, the kind of person I would love to see whit a happy smile. My paintings are in Acrylic, Oil, Pastel, Pencil...

Any question? …Feel free to ask,
Greetings

Three months ago, I challenged myself to create 8 new paintings. In between, I also completed 2 commissions 🫣🤣. There were moments when I honestly thought I wasn’t going to make it… but I did!

I’m now working on the last painting of the series. The final two aren’t finished yet, but they’re coming along beautifully, and I can finally see the finish line.

I’m so proud of myself. ❤️

On top of that, work kept me busy with my 4-day workweek. It brought some wonderful challenges, nothing to complain about, but it definitely took a lot of energy. Still, I managed to spend time with my friends, be with my family, sport and keep painting.

Right now, I truly feel like I have it all. Feeling incredibly grateful. ❤️🥰😍🙏

Enjoy this work in progress: The Cat Conspiracy.

As we all know, cats are secretly plotting to conquer the world… right after one more nap. 😼💤

Soms win je al, simpelweg door de mensen die je onderweg ontmoet. Deze geweldige kunstenaars waren aanwezig op de prachtige locatie in Westvoorne. We trotseerden hoge temperaturen en regen, maar bovenal mochten we genieten van veel belangstelling van bezoekers en een fantastische organisatie.

Voor mij was het meest waardevolle de fijne gesprekken met ieder van hen.

Neem vooral eens een kijkje naar het prachtige werk van deze kunstenaars. Steun hen door hun pagina te volgen, hun werk te delen of, als hun kunst je raakt ❤️een werk van hen aan te schaffen.

I see so many artists starting a painting and apparently doing everything perfectly. That is not me. I’m sloppy, impatient, and I love to experiment, have fun, and search for shortcuts or new methods. Sometimes I fall into rabbit holes, and sometimes I get there quicker than expected — but it’s always a surprise and never boring.

I would get bored if I didn’t have the freedom to play around. A lot of people think I’m a perfectionist. I’ve met many perfectionists, and honestly, I don’t consider myself one. Maybe I should. I would love to be one. But everyone is who they are, and we should simply do the best with ourselves and our skills, aiming for the result without worrying too much about the process.

It’s all part of a fun learning journey.

Never take each other or life too seriously. It has been the best advice I’ve ever received, and it is my happiness mantra. That said, still value what you have and don’t take it for granted.
