Maria Savenkova

My work focuses on landscapes bordering on abstraction. In my works I capture the elusive moments of transition from one state to another. Fixed in static images, they last for the viewer perhaps much longer than their real duration in nature, the creative contact with which for me is connected with the notion of eternity.
Contemplating, slowing down, listening to the world around me, I depict on canvases the states that catch my eye in everyday life and allow me to fully feel the moment I am living, to stop and be inspired.
I was born and studied in Moscow, since 2022 I have been living in Belgrade.
