Hunting (2021) Gravures & estampes par Maslova

Born in 1985 in Kazakhstan, the city of Zhairem. Works with graphic techniques: etching, mokulito, engraving, drawing, collage. Since 2007, she has been participating in personal and group exhibitions. She graduated from Kyiv Mykhailo Boychuk Institute (2010), attended the workshops of O. Titov, L. Yakimashchenko, and O. Stratiychuk. Lives and works in Kyiv. Since 1994 she live and work in Ukraine. The first impressions of the Kazakh steppe, the original folk flowers, patterns influenced the details of her work. Many artworks can trace the ornaments of Middle Asia, and the variety of details resembles the steppe spring. In the middle of the nineties she came to Ukraine. If Kazakhstan is full of contrasts and clear contours, then the nature of Ukraine is made up of nuances and lace lines.

I work with graphic techniques that help show the rhythmicity and repetition of modern architecture. The etching also reveals the theme of botany, the cyclical nature of the world. I transform things into new codes or symbols that become the new modern alphabet. I also experiment with printed techniques and zero-waste art.

Life during the war
On February 24, I decided to stay in Kyiv, at home, to help our relatives and neighbors.
Only about two weeks after the start of the war I was able to think about art and work.
During this time, my relatives from Kyiv went abroad, and my niece and her friend were safely evacuated from Bucha via the Irpin Bridge.
I decided to sell my artworks and send 70% to the Armed Forces, volunteers and official foundations. Thank you everyone, who help! Glory to heroes!
