Ana Maria Baquero is a self-taught artist living in Germany. She's born in The Netherlands but moved in 2016 to Germany. There she and her husband totally restored an old barn house.

Her whole life she experimented with pastel. She never started a serious business in art because of the opinion what a job should to be. Then some live changing events let her decide to move to Germany and quit her job after 25 years. In the middle of restoring the old barn house she started to draw and use pastel again.

She finds inspiration in the beautiful complex details of all the nature creatures on our planet. In her pastel drawings she implements her feelings she often had in her past life and jobs. The feeling of wanting to be free to change her life. The freedom to do wat you want, but not be able or know how to achieve that.

Also she makes art about imprisoning thoughts and not knowing how to fit in. About all the experiences that make a person to what they are.

She hopes that people get inspired from her detailed pastel drawings by implementing their own feelings and ideas.
