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.’
