Painter and local Darienite, Maria Esther Magallanes, will be exhibiting her artwork at Darien Doughnut starting Friday, July 6th, 2012.
The public is invited to an artist's reception with Maria on Friday, July 7th, from 11AM - noon at the Darien Doughnut, located 370 Heights Road.
Maria’s work in acrylic is based on the use of vibrant, nearly violent, colors and shapes to abstract nature and landscapes. Her trademark style is marked by her admiration to and the inspiration provided by Pablo Picasso, Al Held, as well as Mexican painters Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco and Pedro Coronel.
