Hello friends! My name is Mariya. I am an artist. I live and work in Moscow. Why did I become an artist? Unfortunately, I do not have a clear answer to this question. Just somewhere in the depths of my soul, I know that I have to draw. Maybe my work lacks academic skills, sometimes I lack knowledge, but all my work comes from the heart. All of them are portraits of my soul. In them you will find yourself, your reflection, your feelings and experiences. Sometimes ideas for pictures come to me in dreams, sometimes they are made up of long, painstaking work, and sometimes it happens that they are simply drawn, as if out of thin air ... As for the techniques and materials I work with, these are graphic drawings, watercolor, oil paints, oil pastels, and indeed everything that can be painted. Such is the story about me.
