Artist Painting - Art painter
Now you can order high-quality artworks and paintings directly from an academic, modern artist. Moretti, a specialist in figurative art, lives and works in Chiemgau between Munich and Salzburg. Here you will find a huge selection of original, hand-painted works.
Oil paintings, but also wonderful office pictures are offered here. Refreshing and contemporary, they are more than just meaningful decoration and cultural products. The individual art paintings give rooms vibrancy and expression. They also have an effect on the person and the room, no question about it. Positive colors and motifs make the viewer happy and vice versa. Every color has a charisma and you can juggle or manipulate, emphasize, cover up or simply design with it. If you want high-quality canvas pictures or a drawing, you have come to the right place.
Maria Moretti uses only the best materials on the market and processes them expertly and professionally. The masterpieces arrive safely packaged directly to your home. Every unique piece and work of art is insured. Whether abstract paintings or modern paintings, there is something for everyone. Metal paintings are a particular specialty. All works in the gallery are protected with a slightly glossy varnish on the sides, giving them a particularly elegant appearance.
Moretti's specialty is gigantic formats. The motif of a landscape is just as welcome as figures or flowers. She produces her creations with a great deal of passion, energy and enormous dedication, using skillful strokes. No motif is safe from her, she paints everything and in every style. It started with landscape painting and it doesn't end with a painting of a woman. Commissioned paintings are very welcome, the larger and more individual the better.
A unique piece is an enrichment for the quality of life. After all, a painter still needs challenges even after decades of creative work: Extravagant animal paintings as well as feng shui pictures or drawings of people.
Maria Moretti began painting and drawing works of art at the tender age of 11. She later studied under well-known professors at universities and set up her own business while still a student. Here she presents the result in her online store.

How do you become a painter?
A question that many young talents probably ask themselves.
There are many ways to become a painter: Self-taught - and trust yourself without the influence of teachers Academic career - coveted by collectors, apprenticeship with well-known professors, professionals Self-paid courses - the safe route alongside a career Joseph Beuys said: “Everyone is an artist. The path of most artistic people emerges very early on. As with most other professions, it takes a lot of practice to become a master. Nature studies and nude drawing are the classics of training. Over the years, every artist will develop one or more visual languages of their own. This will then become his “trademark”, as well as his recognition value and ultimately his market value. “The older the better” may well apply here. If the painter comes from the academic league, you can see that the abstraction, should he have opted for the reduced style of painting, has a different quality.
He knows what he is doing and the study of contrasts, incidence of light, composition, forms and variety of colors resonates and radiates skill. If you take Pablo Picasso as an example, you can follow the classic path of an artist. Beginning with realistic works and studies, accompanied by phases such as the blue period and ending in a completely unique, reduced pictorial language, such as Guernica. If you look at Henry Matisse, you notice a similar development.
However, the French painter had already found his artistic path in the pictorial language in his early years: Graphically reduced figures in space. At the very end of his era, he also ended up with complete reduction: a blue-looking figural surface in the foreground worked on a white canvas background. Although this is minimalism, Henry Matisse's works were never described as such.
Career
Maria Moretti began making her first drawings at the tender age of 11.
This was followed by nature studies, landscapes and many sketches in the ballet hall. She graduated from the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences with a degree in graphic design. Here she learned from Jonas Hafner, a student of Joseph Beys, and Professors Palm and Georg Bernhardt how to deal with spatial compositions, still lifes and illustrations.
Form and color theory were taught extensively here. Moretti completed a second course of study at the Academy of Fine Arts under Penk, Hollmann and Berger. Here, drawing had priority as a preliminary stage of composition, as pure form without the distraction of color. After mastering this, he moved on to the use of oil paint on canvas and the path to the artwork with its tones and shades. For a long time, the main focus was on figurative art. This includes portrait painting, acrylic paintings depicting people, Feng Shui motifs, animal portraits and drawings.
The masterpieces are the result of many years of work with a lot of trial and error. In the last 10 years, abstract murals have also been added. Different styles and visual languages have also been created here. An oil painting by the artist is suitable for both private and work areas and enhances the image. Particularly worth mentioning are the retro paintings, watercolors, abstract, modern works of art and the Bauhaus design.
A great deal of experimentation has also resulted in interesting structural paintings and pompous metal paintings. Abstract or figurative, the whole artistic palette is represented. It is not an easy path, but when diversity, knowledge, skill and courage go hand in hand with skillful marketing, it is definitely worthwhile. As a full-time artist, Maria Moretti now sells exclusively online so that she can concentrate fully on painting. All works are available in the store.
