There is a metaphysical element to Anna Mariani-Mauger`s work, which is expressed symbolically, surrealistically or through mythology and described by her as a fourth dimension.

“I find it is my hands which know what to do as long as I don`t let my head be the boss”.

Anna Mariani-Mauger was born in Leicestershire, England in 1949 the eldest of seven children. She had her first exhibition at age 17 selling a number of large paintings of semi-abstract style.

Throughout a somewhat turbulent domestic life with periods abroad in the Far East and Ireland Anna continued to paint intermittently; eventually taking up residence in France in 1999.

She spent some years living in a huge isolated ruin with no road, running water or electricity on top of a mountain in the South of France. She met up again with Gabriel Mariani, the sculptor whose work she had discovered in 1980 which had left a profound and lasting impression.

With Gabriel`s guidance Anna acquired the techniques necessary to produce the Bronze Sculptures which she shows with increasing success.

Anna and Gabriel have embarked on adventures together with their work exploring new territories. They have spent their time in Mexico and Sicily over the past two years recently settling near Granada in Andalucia – Southern Spain. The influences of these cultures emerges in the work.

There is an underlying element emerges from my work; It has to do with Poise in Movement with Relationship and Duality.
