Maria Dimanshtein

I am professional artist living in Brooklyn, NY with an art studio located in Queens.
I make work about what it means to be a human in the context of the Universe - living with an awareness of the endlessness of time and space. My art is intimate, poetic and based on my own experiences.
I work across a variety of mediums, including collage, installation, photography, drawing, writing. I tend to work in series, where I create a multitude of pieces to explore an idea.
I exhibit my work across United Stated, including venues such as Arcilesi and Homberg Fine Arts and Lesley Heller Projects in New York, Trestle Gallery and Gallery 440 in Brooklyn, Arizona State University AZ, Koehline Museum of Art in Des Plaines IL, Woman Made Gallery in Chicago IL and Evanston Art Center in Evanston IL.
