Artist Name

Maria Svetlakova

Born: 1981

Hometown: Moscow

Based in: Moscow

I live and work in Moscow. The main direction of my work is abstract expressionism in painting, graphics and digital media. I create artworks for living and commercial interiors, collaborate with interior designers, architects and collectors.

I've been in art all my life. I usually see the images inside my mind and try to paint or draw them. Besides, I like to make interiors better with my artworks. I am passionate about abstract art most of all. It gives me a reason to think about color force and new forms.

2018 - creating an online-school for decorators. Development and implementation of seminars and online courses.

since 2017 – starting to create digital painted artworks.

since 2016 - member of the Union of Abstract Artists of Russia.

2008 - opening of the school of design and drawing on the basis of the art-studio. Development and implementation of author's training programs for artists, designers and decorators.

2006 - opening of my own design studio. Work on the decoration of public and private interiors, exhibitions, displays and the creation of art objects.
