THE "MISFITS" SERIES

BRINGING FABLES TO LIFE

Painter and illustrator Maria João Worm brings to life a whole array of characters from the grand fable of life in her current linocut series. These "misfits" are nothing more than the protagonists of a rebellion that is all too familiar to us, the rebellion of those who refuse to conform to the stereotypes imposed by a materialistic and stifling society.
