Maria Kloss
Maria Kloss (* 1940 in Ronsperg in Bohemia ) is a German painter and representative of naive painting and sculptor.
Impressed by a trip to Portugal, she painted her first picture in 1964. Her painting oscillates between realism and fantasy, between what is seen and what is felt. In 1970 her pictures were shown in a solo exhibition in Düsseldorf. German television took notice and reported on her work in ttt - titel, thesen, temperamente .
Maria Kloss also created a number of sculptures - for example the figure group Paradiesgarten in the courtyard of Schwäbisch Gmünder Spital .
Maria Kloss lives today in Eschach (near Schwäbisch Gmünd) . The children Jens (* 1970) and Valerie (* 1978) came from her marriage to the painter and draftsman Hans Kloss , which ended in 2000 .
