Tekenen is voor mij letterlijk onderweg-zijn. Lijnen die, net als de rivier de Maas, zorgen voor onverwachte wendingen, perspectief, emoties en diepgang. Tekeningen die als het voorbij stromende water van de rivier, getuigen van een onontkoombaar verlangen naar...

Who is Alice? Where is Wonderland? What is the Wonder? artistic theme of the 3rd International Biennale of Modern and Contemporary Art of Santorini.
Alice is moving in a world where the established perceptions about life are overruled and the “common morality” is mocked with great passion. Even if these two elements are mainly found in the work of Albert Camus, in the case of Alice we observe a “system of absolute freedom” same as the system supported by Sartre, in which the individual has the absolute liberty to determine his personality. But is this possible? Is “every Alice” a being that has been placed into “existence” without commitments and suggested to shape itself and its environment?

Maria Es is represented with two of her monumental artworks:
* DON’T TRUST ALICE, she is the black hole in your mind nr. 1
* DON’T TRUST ALICE, she is the black hole in your mind nr. 2
