Maria Madonera is a painteress and poetess since her adolescence. Her profound philosophic, psychological and political understanding is emphasized by the universal concept of Yin and Yang. Maria Madonera is German, but grew up in Pakistan. She has experienced the rich Pakistani culture, however, also the problematic segregation of women and men. Her ideas of female and male existence are far beyond the conventional male/female concepts of global societal structures, or simple feminism. Her focus is concentrated on the universal feminine energetic aspect of life, and especially so in the domain of art itself. The author has complemented the texts with 19 fine drawings, several graphic designs and some photos of her oil paintings, thus putting the right and left hemisphere into a perfect balance.
