Maria Pranka

Hi, my name - Maria Pranka, I'm an artist from Latvia, Riga.
I'm an artist since... truth to be told I've never "started" to create art, this was always a way for self expression, through various medias, I've been acting, writing poems and novels, then I dived into photography. But now at my current stage - I'm using canvas and inks with acrylic for that same purpose - expressing myself.

I love how this flows through me and onto the media, its like it wants to get out, be shown. So after any of my works are done its a satisfaction at all time high for me. My art is about emotions it brings, about thoughts provoked. I have a very high goals for my own mental development, and art helps me to understand myself a bit better, so every piece of art created - one step (sometimes a leap) in understanding myself.

I'm sincerely hoping that it can help you understand something about yourself too, about your inner self.
And I will do my best to bring you the most emotional and meaningful art.
