About

Lives and works in Madrid, Spain

Maria Yelletisch’s masterpieces are a profound exploration of reverberation as a gateway to transcendence, flawlessly weaving elements of nature, light, memory, and emotion into her works. Through her deeply personal lens, Yelletisch delves into the meditative power of recurrence, drawing correspondences between the rhythm of nature and the contemplative state it suggests.

In her practice, Maria Yelletisch immerses herself in the boundless reprises found in the natural world, where each iteration maintains its individuality yet contributes to the collective harmony. This thematic thread extends into her urban landscapes, where memories intertwine with sensory experiences, forming what she exquisitely terms as ‘safe places,’ havens of connection and solace.

As Deleuze put it, when we concentrate on repetition to the point of obsession, we find exciting ‘small differences.’ Yelletisch explores this motto challenging the traditional notion of echo as mere imitation, advocating instead for a deeper understanding of how duplication can serve as a driver of innovation, experiencing and witnessing.

In her latest series, the artist embarks on a journey through romantic landscapes, each painting a reflection of her tranquil pauses captured in memory and color. Through the reiteration of elements, she creates a narrative of serenity and exploration, inviting viewers to venture into the immersive realms she constructs.

Central to Yelletisch’s practice is her adept manipulation of color and light, a skill honed through meticulous observation and selection. Her paintings exude a vibrant energy, as she deftly captures the hues of her surroundings and infuses them with the warmth of recollection.
