Mariia Kotiuzhynska

“Childhood is the zero meridian of our soul. I paint to take people back to the moment when the world was pure and dreams were limitless.”

My works are not just vibrant paintings but visual portals to memory, emotions, and childhood sensations. I explore how our earliest experiences shape us, how we grow up yet still carry our inner child within.

By combining expressive color, realistic details, and symbolism, I create a world where the viewer can once again feel like a child—carefree, bold, and filled with emotions.

My art is not nostalgia; it is a philosophy of rediscovering one’s true self through the prism of childhood dreams and experiences.

Each painting is a conversation with your past that forever lives within you.
