Book illustrator and comic strip author, Maria describes her professional journey as a blend between the timeless stories read in childhood, various French book illustrations and her studentship years at the University of Art and Design from Cluj.

She defines herself as a Darkroom, simultaneously nostalgic and pragmatic, transforming her own memories, sensations and feelings into pictures. Thus, she combines the playful pseudo-realism of childhood, the tenderness and the militant poetry of the adolescent and a subtle spirituality of the post-modern adult.
