Mari Skakun

Hello, my name is Maria Skakun, I am an artist, performer, teacher and art therapist. Participant of international exhibitions. I live in France, in Paris.

Why do I paint painting ? Because drawing makes me feel alive and vibrant.
I have been drawing and studying fine arts since childhood, but since 2017 painting has become my main occupation. For 8 years I have been building a career in the IT and Fashion industry as a designer and art director, after which I decided to leave this activity and allow myself to create as an artist.

My painting can be classified as intuitive action painting.
Through art, I explore the self-identification of personality, corporeality and the experience of emotions. I work with the metaphysics of bodies.
When working with a portrait, I rather draw the trace that reflects a person and his energy in me.

Inspire me people, nature, music and the world of the unconscious. From here I get new ideas for their research and observations.

I write in the style of abstract expressionism. Sketching helps me to feel and capture the moment as much as possible.
Favorite genre – nude, portrait, abstraction.
I write in mixed media, which uses oil paints, acrylics and wax crayons. I periodically research performance in my art.

Collaborations with other artists allow me to understand the purity of creativity through synergy and improvisation.
I also study modern methods of art therapy in order to better understand how a person immerses in creativity, how art affects the perception and formation of personality, which gives opportunities for the development of personality.
Open to the exchange of ideas and creative collaborations
