Maria Perevoshchikova is a Russian abstract acrylic painter. Having developed a passion for art at an early age, her mother encouraged her to pursue it. Maria graduated from The South-Ural Fine Arts School at the age of 18, where she furthered her knowledge of color, line, form, composition, and art history.
She moved to the beautiful tropical island of Bali, Indonesia in 2010. For six years, Bali became her spiritual home and the source of her newfound passion for painting. Her success at local art exhibitions on the island gave her the confidence to follow her dream of becoming an artist.
She relocated herself to Dubai in 2017. Maria’s work style was influenced by the new environment of the fast-changing, dynamic, and international metropolis, which opened up new prospects for her budding art career.
Maria strives to create ethereal visions that anyone of any age, gender, race, or cultural background can be affected by or relate to. Rather than explaining a notion, her art aims to elicit an emotional response. Its goal is to arouse curiosity and inspire exploration of the inner realms and dimensions beyond the known.
Her source of inspiration is nature; she intends to synchronize strokes with resonations from nature’s structures, revealing sacred regions, and it is there that she channels the shifting magic into paintings. She strives to make it appear as if the viewer can visually enter the painting and have a vivid immersive experience by using dramatic perspective, texture, and value changes.
