Maria Makarenko

My name is Maria Makarenko, Living in Dublin, Ireland. Graduated Saint Petersburg University faculty of ''Health and Sports Sciences''.

My hobby is painting and creating art. I fell in love with painting in 2000 with one touch of brush to the paper. It was not only a brush, It was a life-changing experience. I created a different vision to everything and deeply fell into painting. It's like a love from the first sight and I expressed it through my art.
Painting is a great way to relax and enter a completely different world, it is a pleasure and recreation, one word - art therapy.

I use acrylic, oil, gouache on canvas. Painting technique with a brush or mastechine. Mastechine technique easily complements the brush and makes the paintings richer with greater texture and contours. I am writing nature, landscapes, flowers, naturmort, triptych and abstraction.
