About Mariia Gorbunova
My name is Maria. I am an artist, originally coming from Russia and currently living in West Flanders, Belgium. In the last couple of years my media of choice are oil and canvas, but I also like to work as a performer.
For me contemporary art is the way of looking at the reality and making sense of the psychological and social problem that I can observe in modern society.
And of course in my art i try to tell about an experience what i am living through in my family in a small northern city beyond the Arctic Circle in Russia during the nineties and the beginning of the two thousandth.
I work mostly with oil on canvas, experimenting with textures and complex colors, though for several years I spent in Moscow I was predominantly a performance artist. My paintings, are rarely figurative and always charged with emotion.
