Maria Timofeeff is an artist and designer based in Moscow. In the workshop, on the easel there is always a white canvas or a completed painting with a bewitching smell of oil paint. This is an episode from Maria’s childhood. She grew up in a creative family; her father is an artist and a teacher. Her sister is also an artist. There were no other paths for Maria but art. This is her lifestyle and her passion. Her father instilled in her a love of painting and teaching activity. From early childhood the world of art is her system and area of realization. For several years Maria Timofeeff taught painting. She is an active person by nature and loves to combine various creative processes. For twenty years, in parallel with painting, she has been creating interior designs in tandem with her sister. She is particularly interested in life of the painting in the living space. How to perfectly choose a work of art in the interior. The influence of art on space. For several years she experimented with different graphic techniques: oil pastel, watercolor, colored pencil, monotype. In recent years, Maria has been completely absorbed by oil painting. Maria Timofeeff is not a conceptualist; the vital impulse for her is primary - the emotion from what she saw and experienced. Invariably inspired by nature. The sacraments of the world, the mystery of air, shadows, a play of color, and the magic, absorbing and giving endless ideas for creativity. The painting is a meditation, wich takes us into its dimension of eternal contemplation. The theme of a man and nature, their interaction and interpenetration especially absorb Maria.
