Oil on canvas. Signed in the upper left corner. The title ("buffonata") appears in the lower right corner. On the back, on the frame, there is another signature, the artist's stamp, and the date. Maria Mesch, a German-born artist now based in Milan, has developed and organised exhibitions and events related to the art world, while also organising musical, theatrical, performance, and multimedia shows, with a particular focus on the underground scene and independently produced works. Maria Maria paints strange, colourful, and playful shapes on canvases or Plexiglas panels. She allows the viewer to freely interpret them to give them meaning and significance.
