▶ Mariia Raskin is an abstract award-winning artist born in 1979 in Kazakhstan and currently Turkey-based.
Graduated with honors from Moscow Textile University in 2001 with a degree in fashion design, she had been changing many art-related professions: body- art master, make-up artist, shop window designer, graphic designer, fashion and book illustrator.
Graduated with honors in 2014 from Triphon Icon Painting School, she had been working as an icon painter for 5 years. The most satisfaction she gets has been working since 2019 as a full-time artist.
Mariia's painting technique - combining acrylic, oil, watercolor and glass paints, helps her to achieve planned ideas and gives unusual and deep color schemes. She uses wide volumetric palette knife strokes with careful subtle details drawing to make viewers feel the contrasting combination of energy and serenity in her artworks.
Mariia has been featured in art publications, solo and group exhibitions locally and internationally. Her artworks are in private collections in the USA, Germany, Cyprus, Turkey, and Russia.

More About Mariia Raskin
What inspires you?
I see my mission as an artist in transferring my inspiration from contemplating the beauty of nature onto canvas. And share this inspiration and positive energy with people who view these pictures at home every day!
Describe your creative process.
The freedom and spontaneity guide me in my art painting process. I have no clear plan or sketch to strive for. I don't really know what exactly the finished artwork will look like. The finished painting is always a revelation, a combination of an intuitive understanding of color and composition. Each painting is unique and inimitable.

Intuition, spontaneity, sense of beauty

What is the best piece of advice you have been given?
My husband gave me the best advice, this advice sounded like this: «Just let yourself go and don't worry about the result, then the picture will take shape». And it works!
Where do you go for inspiration?
I usually go for a work to take inspiration. I watch the sky and andless sea, wonderfull flowers...
