Deer in the thicket (2022) 绘画 由 Masha Danilovskaia

Hi, I'm Masha Danilovskaia. I'm an artist. I work with graphics, painting, ceramics. I am looking for my own expressive language, reflecting on the relationship between man and nature.

I graduated from the Moscow State Art School in memory of 1905, specializing in painting.  I studied at the All-Russian Institute of Cinematography at the art faculty, studied Russian Iconography at the Moscow Institute.

My post-student travel experience also had a strong influence on me. My husband and I hitchhiked around Norway, lived in Nepal and the Philippines, and worked in an art gallery in China. My love for textures, graphics, bright colors, tropical vegetation comes from there.

Since 2023 I am a resident of Postrigay Gallerie in Moscow. Participated in fairs win win, Catalog, participant of "EcoArt" residency from the Museum of Nonconformism in St. Petersburg, Goethe Institute and French Institute in Russia.

The central theme of my artistic practice is the search for the image of a lost Paradise, to which man seeks to return in order to restore his connection with nature, with the harmony of the world. It is an ideal environment of balance and peace. By coming into contact with it, man could finally exhale, get out of the race, remembering the beauty that surrounds him.

I strive to construct pictorial and sculptural compositions in such a way that they can become an excuse to slow down, to focus attention, to ground oneself, to immerse oneself in methodical contemplation. To create these layered visualities, I work with sketches in a digital collage format, designing tiny elements of the composition from fragments of my graphic works in ink.

In creating my worlds, I find inspiration in Christian cosmogony and in natural ecosystems and the processes of life's renewability. I strive to capture the fragile but very durable harmony of natural kingdoms - a natural balance that reflects the image of the original world. Man in this environment is not the ruler of the world, but an attentive, active gardener. He asks himself about his responsibility to his garden, he asks himself about his own free will. He is a kind of middle figure, marking the point on the border between the anthropocentric model of the world and the Deleuzian image of the rhizome culture.
