Maria De Vido is a fourth-generation self-taught artist with an Ethiopian-Eritrean and Italian background. She is based in West London and is known for her vibrant and expressive artworks. Her work is strongly inspired by the artistic and visual traditions of the African continent. This is clearly reflected in her use of colour, patterns and the silhouettes she paints.
