Maria Timofeeva was born into the family of a professional watercolorist, so her immersion in the art world was an organic and natural process. Maria received a classical art education and joined the Union of Artists of Russia with a series of graphic works.<\/span><\/p>\n

For many years, she worked in mixed graphic media. She experimented with monotype and oil pastels. She taught painting. Today, Maria is a mature artist with a distinctive visual language and considerable potential. She works in oils, the medium she finds best suited to her artistic practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

The period of self-isolation offered Maria an opportunity for creativity and growth.\u00a0<\/span>Maria believes that this time gave her a sense of self-discovery, inner peace, stillness, and hope.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was more deeply immersed in the process than ever before, I think,\u201d says the artist. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In the works presented in this project, Maria explores the phenomenon of forgotten objects. She considers the object in its \u201cpure\u201d form, placed within a context through its \u201cmemories\u201d of the person who once used it. Maria\u2019s paintings contain no human figures, yet their presence can be sensed through the world of objects.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
