Introduction - M(ater) T(erra)

Probably most of us have been brought here by our creative flame which is essential for our lives on this planet.

'Creativity is not a solitary movement. That is its power. Whatever is touched by it, whoever hears it, sees it, senses it, knows it, it's fed. That is why beholding someone else's creative word, images, idea, fills us up, and inspires us to our own creative work. A single creative act has the potential to feed a continent. One creative act can cause a torrent to break through stone.'- Clarissa Estes Pinkola

In love with the mysteries of life,
Enchanted by the wildness of nature,
Playful to enter the game of life,
Passionate going into depth,
Curious finding a way through freedom and independence,
Fascinated about creating with our hands and flying through the unseen,
Here am I ready for the adventure!

The name 'Mater Terra' comes from 'Terra Mater' which means 'Mother Earth'. I changed the order of the name, for different reasons: one of them is because I sometimes like changing order into chaos (and see other perspectives) and an other is because I sign with 'M.T' on my paintings (which are my initials from my birth name).

Actually I've never been into art schools and I've often heard from my english-teachers that my English is bad, so just to let you know that everything I share is self-taught. I recognize that skills and techniques are important, but I believe that our uniqueness should be expressed in our own creative flow. That's a space where we stop judging ourselves badly, open up to new ways, perspectives, ideas and take the courage to practice doing what we are passionate about.

As an occupational therapist I work with children of all ages, encouraging them to go beyond any limitations and to find their autonomy and independence in daily life through different activities. I believe that everybody can ‘heal’ by doing what they love.

I finished university 2 years ago, and I'm 24 years old. Since I'm curious about discovering and trying out a lot of different/new things, please don't hesitate to make suggestions, give tips and feedback about my posts and art.

Thanks youuuu

Much love,
