Biography of Amandine Maria

Amandine Maria lives and works in the south of France. Her background is both technical and artistic, as after a master’s degree in art sciences she continued her training at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure du Paysage in Versailles and in Marseille, to become a landscape designer.

Her “Maps on foot” mix the aerial viewpoint of traditional cartography and the one of the walker who apprehends all the sensitive aspects of a landscape. By revealing all the potential of the places experienced by their inhabitants, her drawn maps are poetic expressions of the landscape and sociological issues of a territory.

 

Techniques

These maps of natural or city landscapes are orchestrated in ink and watercolour with a soft and plain cartographer’s palette, the texts and words to be discovered come to twist the refined application of the drawing. The representation is two-dimensional with multiple viewpoints, making the drawings readable from any direction.
