Maria Tuzhilkina

I have been drawing since childhood, I have a professional education as an artist-designer. For over 10 years I have been a “free artist”. Participated in exhibitions, works are in private collections in Russia and Europe.

I paint pictures in the style of cubism. My eyes see not only the outer, integral shell, I want to decompose each object into its components, to give them a geometric shape. In my works, I show the viewer how much color affects the shape of an object, and vice versa, how much the form is able to dictate its conditions.

My favorite material in my work is acrylic, it is he who allows you to create a clear shape and display the color rendition as close to reality as possible. I like the combination of matte and glossy surfaces, so I use the technique when not all part of the work is covered with the finishing varnish, but only the selected elements. This creates additional volume and play of light.

I am often asked how it is possible to collect such clear, even segments? Am I using computer graphics? No, all the work, from the sketch to the last stroke, was done by hand. My task is to complete every detail perfectly so that the viewer, when looking at the picture, would say: "Wow!"

Graduated from the Magnitogorsk Pedagogical University, Art and Graphic Faculty.
I constantly improve my skills in working with acrylics and oils, and take master classes.
