Maria Bianchini is an Italian-Brazilian artist whose evocative silk paintings speak to the human condition - raw, layered, and deeply emotional. Working with hand-painted silk as her primary medium, she creates immersive, dreamlike worlds filled with entangled forms and ghostly figures that seem to rise from the fabric itself. Her work explores themes of vulnerability, struggle, and the ongoing search for healing and connection.
Much of Maria’s inspiration stems from her experience as a mother to a child with special needs. That journey has shaped her worldview, deepening her sensitivity to complexity, silence, and unseen emotional landscapes. Art became a space of reflection and survival - a way to process, to express, and to reconnect with inner strength.
Her work is often compared to the haunting energy of Dante Alighieri’s infernal visions, with figures emerging from chaos, yearning for light and transformation. Using rich pigments and flowing silk, Maria’s process is intuitive and embodied - guided by feeling rather than form. Each piece invites the viewer into a space of emotional resonance, where beauty and pain coexist.
Originally from Brazil and influenced by her years in Italy, Maria’s art is infused with multicultural layers - tropical warmth, Mediterranean elegance, and a deep spiritual curiosity. Now based in the United States, she continues to evolve her voice, offering her art as a quiet but powerful form of storytelling, connection, and emotional truth.
