Popcorn Noir at Saatchi Gallery
Images from 'Popcorn Noir', a 2015 solo show with Saatchi Gallery, London.
The show was an exhibition of original works and prints, inspired by three, vintage films: Hitchcock's 'Rear Window', 'A Stolen Life' starring Bette Davis, and a number of the 1930s 'Tarzan' series. Staging a collage within a collage, the exhibition deconstructed and reassembled stills from the iconic films across the entire collection.

Heart of Darkness Penguin Book Cover
Penguin Books commissioned Maria to design a book cover for Joseph Conrad's timeless classic Heart of Darkness.
The brief was short: the cover had to look "modern and different." Maria applied her pin-up process, building exotic flora and fauna, hidden figures and animals, over an antique photographic portrait. With a sitter resembling the book's narrator, Marlow, Maria layered snakes, maps, and skulls - some of the book's most evocative images - to create her unique visual response.
The result was a success, capturing the dark and brooding atmosphere of one of the nineteenth century's most captivating works of literature.
