Silhouette Painting

Real name Maria Shestakova, writing under the pseudonym Mari Dein. I believe that art helps to find inner balance and harmony. For the artist while he works on it and for the viewer when his inner world resonates by contact with creation. Everyone finds their own way to express feelings and thoughts. I like to find inspiration in color and texture, which is reflected in my work. I'm trying to find my line between abstraction and object painting by developing my technique with palette knife and experiment with others. to go deeper into the essence, and not just copy the image. Born in a small town in Siberia. Until the age of 12 i was taught by dad to draw and work with a brush, as his uncle taught him, so it can be said that we have a small dynasty of artists. At the age of 12 i enrolled in art school. I've traveled a lot and part of my family lives in different countries: Germany, Ukraine, Norway. This greatly affects my perception of the world and increases outlook. Now I live in small southern town by the sea called Anapa. I am inspired by artists such as Voka, Francoise Nielly, Scott Naismith, David Brewster, Joseph Lee, Blu Smith.
