MARIA MYASNIKOVA

Maria Myasnikova (b. 1997) is a Russian born artist who

lives and works in Milan. She holds a BA in Fine Art (Painting)

from City and Guilds of London Art School.

‘I work primarily with oil paint, spray paint, wood and

found objects creating what I call Abstract Sculptural

Assemblages. Within every Assemblage, I try to reinvent

my use of mediums and practice. I work with what surrounds

me: nature and found objects - these can be

simple things like broken glass, seasonal flowers, tools

like nails and fishing lines that are usually used to hold

objects together; in my artworks, they keep things together

metaphorically. I draw inspiration from everyday

life to engage in abstract thinking as I attempt to realise

the new artwork. The concept of every day is crucial

to my practice: things, family, and moods represent the

cosmology of my life. Long-term projects are becoming

more important to me. How can I observe a decaying

plant throughout the year? How is the surface of the primed

wood changing? How can I work in the long run?

The present and every day contain elements of paradise,

which is what my research revolves around.’

Artwork: ‘Abstract Sculptural Assemblage in Hawaiian

Ocean Blue and Dark Turquoise (Ways of Comprehension

/ Blue Nymph G)‘, oil paint, nails and fishing line on

wood, 80 x 142 cm, 2022.
