“I become my own hero: the one who dismantles the given, resets the pieces, and asks the broken to speak”
Enter the world of Mary Blindflowers
Why Mary Stands Out
Mary Blindflowers’ work stands out for its uncompromising originality, emotional depth, and the philosophical clarity of her self-defined movement, Destructuralism.
Her works challenge the boundaries between form and dissolution, between the rational and the oneiric. What makes her practice compelling is her ability to transform fractured issues into meaning - to make powerful beauty out of the act of unmaking. She offers a visual language of message laden awarness through chaos and created destruction.
Blindflowers’ art exists in constant metamorphosis. Figures dissolve into atmospheres of colour and gesture; structure collapses into pulse and rhythm. Her surfaces are layered, scarred, erased, and reborn. Each assemblage becomes an act of resistance against received wisdom. This is an assertion that form and feeling are never fixed, but endlessly becoming.
At the heart of her practice lies a poetic intelligence: she dismantles the visible, the ‘known’ to uncover the emotional architectures beneath. Her imagery often feels dreamt rather than constructed, emerging from the subconscious with a sense of inevitability, yet charged with vulnerability and restraint.
In a contemporary art landscape often driven by ineffective moralising or messaging, Blindflowers’ style brings an urgent sincerity to the fore. Her work reclaims illustrative work as the site of revelation. This can be a means to face what has been silenced, sidelined, or simply forgotten. To engage with her art is to encounter transformative power itself: the point where chaos becomes coherence, and where the unseen gains form through courage and intuition, allowing for revelation.
Mary Blindflowers’ works are not simply to be viewed, they are to be felt, entered, and listened to, remember, she says “you must question all”.
Mary Blindflowers is an intensely private, Italian-born artist, author and independent publisher whose work is driven by a singular vision: to dismantle the familiar and build from the fragments something luminous, engaging, informative and new. She is the progenitor of a philosophy she calls Destructuralism, a framework that guides both her writing and her visual art.
Since 2017 her paintings have appeared in solo and group exhibitions across the UK. Notably, her 2018 show “Oneiric and Symbolic Paintings” at St. Johns Hall Gallery in Barmouth explored the threshold between figuration and abstraction, structure and collapse. She was awarded the first-drawing prize by the Henry Moore Foundation in 2019.
Blindflowers also strides beyond canvas: she runs her own self-publishing venture, Thinking Man Editions, producing poetry, non-fiction, novels and plays. This broad practice feeds into her art, making each painting a text, a meditation, an excavation.
Her work stands out because she refuses easy resolution. She moves between destruction and creation, wielding erasure as much as pigment, and invites viewers into the porous space where memory, myth and opinion meet. The surfaces of her works are haunted and alive: traces of gesture, abandoned forms, sudden colour-throbs, all pointing toward a renewal beyond collapse, which is physical and mental too.
For institutions, galleries and public programmes, Mary Blindflowers offers a compelling bridge between visual art and literary practice, between concept and feeling. Her work speaks to audiences seeking authenticity, depth and transformation, the idea that art is not simply to look at, but to inhabit and inform our lives.
“To dismantle structure is to question the cage of logic. What remains is the trembling body of imagination”

“Like a series of atomic creations, only by study, questioning and theorising can you see the true beauty and mind-altering strength in each work”

“I believe art should tremble. It should not offer safety, but a place to feel alive inside the uncertainty.”
