MARIA
KISSER, the late NYROM
Maria Piszer
was born in Budapest in 1944.
She started her studies at
the Secondary School of Visual Arts in Budapest, then from 1964 she studied in Vienna
at the Academy of Fine Arts where she completed her studies at the Master School of
Professor Fritz Wotruba in 1968.
She spent her coming years with the ambition of artistic self-realization, she
presented her works, paintings and sculptures at several international exhibitions
(Basel, Budapest, Madrid, Padua, Bonn, Vienna, Varese).
Even then she found
self-training and personal development very important, therefore she spent her time in
Egypt and Turkey on scholarships.
In 1969, she presented her
works at her first own exhibition under the name NYROM, and gained international
recognition and appreciation as a young artist.
With her peculiar, partly
strong geometric style and her world of form and color she made a revolutionary
breakthrough in the art scene of the era.
At the end of the nineties,
the name NYROM was in silence. This period mainly consisted of the conflicts of her
personal, material and immaterial worlds. Her interest turned towards the sensible and
invisible spheres of the spiritual world.
From these years of
self- development a new personality came to life, a new artist
resurrected:
MARIA KISSER
An artist was born, namelessly,
simply, tangibly, directly. With her entirely new style – not comparable to her previous
works - she redefined herself and her creation art.
Within her present works she
perpetuates the spiritually incomprehensible, as she puts it „the light” in its natural
beauty.
She borrowed her profession of
faith from Robert Schumann:
„To send light into the
darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist.”
„Her walk of life has come to
completion, throughout the seven years of path-finding she created her new world of form,
re- inventing the late NYROM once and for all. The two artist has become one, the
symbiosis was done, the metamorphosis was complete.
