Although her name sounds quite italian and thus might suggest otherwise, Maria la Verda was born on May 22th in Breda , the Netherlands.Maria la Verda is a well known name in her hometown Tilburg ( just moved to Eindhoven !). Maria `s  energy packed in a striking , well groomed appearance makes her presence loved.Wherever ”LaVerda” goes, there is commotion,cheerfullness and a touch of exitement. La Verda is one of Tilburg divas. Even before leaving art school, Maria la Verda made a name for herself in fashion. Operating under her own design label ”Dessini” Maria released an impressive line of jewelry and clothing in a style that can best be descriped as ”punk chic”.Later on, Maria la Verda built her own design bag company, but above all and always, Maria is a truly dedicated artist. While painting ,La Verda takes you on her travels through Italy , France and Spain.She shares her observations in a generous , colourful way .In one painting you ‘re standing on a jetty on the shore of Lac d Ánnecy in France to enjoy the impressive Massif des Bauges where Maria la Verda , witness the lady with Iphone , captures the zeitgeist very well . While in the other painting Maria takes you to one of the world’s most beautifull coasts, the italian Amalfi Coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea .A moment of tranquility on the busy , winding Via Nastro Azurro. The wind is only a faint sea breeze, the lemon trees hold the promise of lavishly poured Limoncello. Although sometimes painted with rough strokes and large surfaces, Maria la Verda ‘s canvases are lifelike. You relive the adventures , feel the blistering heat on your skin, hear the sea rustle and smell the pinetrees….
