Maria Bartuszová worked over three decades. She created around 500 sculptures, from small organic forms to commissions for public spaces as well as works in the landscape.

When Bartuszová experimented using her own distinctive method of casting plaster by hand. Inspired by playing with her young daughter, she created abstract shapes by pouring plaster into rubber balloons – her signature material was white plaster, giving the sculptures a fragile quality.
