Maria Bacha

Maria Bacha is a Greek artist and her signature style is characterised by ethereal abstract artworks. In her work, she dives into personal experiences to explore and connect with the sea of the collective subconscious. The artist lives and works in London and exhibits internationally. Currently, she is pursuing her MFA'25 at the Royal College of Art, where she is expanding her explorations with a more interdisciplinary approach.

"Nature, light and color are my greatest inspirations.

I always want to search more about the sea of my subconscious and to find better connections with the collective unconscious. During my working process I feel like a medium. I transmit my experiences, my sense of independence and my emotions and then I go back to my creation and observe. This is a liberating experience that helps me become more aware of my existence in this life. I feel that my development as an artist is moving along with my emotional and spiritual growth.

I hope viewers of my work find their own references. I am always happy to touch people' s sensitivity.

I believe that awareness about our existence has the power to lead us to positive changes.

I really hope my art provokes more awareness, love and respect into this world”.
