Maria Manuela Vintilescu

Master of Modern Japanese Portraiture

MariaManuela Vintilescu, a prominent Swedish visual artist, carries on an artistic journey that started at the age of seven at the Modern Museum in Stockholm. There, mesmerized by Niki de Saint-Phalle's impressive sculpture "She", her artistic eye was awakened for the first time.

The inspiration for Maria's art comes from various sources, including old Japanese woodcuts and magazines. She finds particular fascination with the consciousness of the modern woman in Japan, where every hair clip and every detail is carefully thought out to create a harmonious whole.

In her works, Maria portrays modern Japanese women. These portraits are constructed from childhood dreams, memories and discoveries. Blending the traditional and the modern in her images, MariaManuela Vintilescu creates works of art that are not only visually appealing but also carry a sense of depth and complexity.
