Mariia Kliuikova

Explorer artist/illustrator with traditional background.


Most of my arts are in magical realism style, because I find new meanings and different points of objects and things. Rather than paint objects like they are, I am interested in state, influence and story. Flowers become personalities, fictional characters become people, and ordinary places become carriers of memory and emotion. Many of my compositions are intentionally fragmentary, resembling glimpses, cropped moments, or visual recollections.

Balance between academy technics, graphic composition and semi-realistic stylisation is my visual language for express unstability and non-existence of objective reality.
