Following her studies, Maria spent nearly two decades working as a graphic designer, honing her skills and cultivating her creative vision.
Driven by her deeply emotional nature, Maria found solace and expression in the art of expressionism. She is drawn to experimentation, viewing it as a pathway to self-development and artistic innovation.

In 2020, amidst the challenges of the global pandemic, Maria made the bold decision to pursue art full-time, embracing her passion for creativity and illustration. Her dedication and talent quickly garnered recognition, with Maria selling an impressive 126 artworks to collectors across Russia, Germany, Switzerland, the USA, and Israel.

I am against the war!
Me, all my family and all my friends in Russia are against the war!
We are nothing to do, we have no another native land to go, we hadn't elected this tzar on the throne! We can paint only... And fill a deep shame for our country...

Reviews and comments
Stunning use of color and light, truly a captivating piece!
So cute :) I also like the combination of pen and brush
It's very tough to paint now... very nervous... but i am doing it. Thank you for understanding. For me it is very important that you know we are against the war!
Now we have economic crisis - our economics and a lot of business are died... Russian people are suffering a lot. Not government - we are punished (
Thank you, Maria! On this platform, the only one think you can do is to paint. The only one thing I can do is to include all the anti Ukraine war paintings in my collections! Since you are in Russia and I know (so well) how dangerous it is to step-up, I deeply admire your courage to post the statement. Thank you again and again. Katia
It is not your fault. It's politics. I am sorry for the Russian people and for the people of Ukraine. Artists have to stick together. Best wishes.
Thank you so much!
So glorious...........!
