British artist, Maria was born in Ceylon (currently Sri-Lanka). Thanks to her father being a diplomat, Maria grew up in different countries around the world, including Ceylon, China, Russia and Germany.
She started working as a professional artist from 1983, but had a long break raising due to personal circumstances. Prior to becoming a full-time practicing artist and designer, Maria worked in development at various companies in London.
Fascinated by ancient art and philosophy, her work include details of Assyrian and Egyptian frescoes, Greek and Roman architecture, Aztecs and Incas sculpture. She is very fond of mythology, religion and often uses characters of fairy tales and myths as base for her art and designs. As a stylist Maria Burberry uses her artwork as a base for her products designs and patterns.
Having shown her paintings in several European countries, notably in Great Britain and Italy, the artist now lives and works in Nice, France.
