Conny Maier

Berlin-born Conny Maier, who works in her hometown and in Baleal, Portugal, is also a phenomenon. Over the last few years, the trained fashion designer, who founded a fashion label, has caused a sensation as a painter. The circular mouths of her figures, which make them seem to cry, have become a kind of trademark. Maier’s paintings combine neo-expressive expression with a strong sense of color and composition. Her impressive work cycles focus on the existential interrelation between man and nature personified in a variety of animals.
