Maria Great

About the Artist

Maria Great is a Finnish contemporary artist and author whose work blends vibrant abstraction, lyrical expression, and deep spiritual resonance. Her paintings are known for their rich textures, layered colours, and a sense of movement that invites the viewer into moments of stillness, reflection, and renewal.

Rooted in both visual art and literature, Maria’s creative journey is a tapestry woven from personal transformation, faith, and a desire to bring beauty, hope, and truth into the world. She draws inspiration from nature, the human spirit, and the unseen dimensions of life, translating these into compositions that feel both intimate and expansive.

Over the years, Maria has presented her art in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Helsinki and other locations, collaborating with galleries, artist associations, and unique venues. Her works can be found in private collections and continue to reach a global audience through Saatchi Art.

For Maria, art is more than an aesthetic pursuit — it is a dialogue between the seen and the unseen, the temporal and the eternal. Each piece carries a story, an atmosphere, and an invitation: to pause, to feel, and to step into a space where colour and spirit meet.

"I am a member of both the Helsinki Art Association and the Finnish Art Association. Throughout my artistic journey, I have had the privilege of learning from several accomplished mentors."
