Born in 1992 in Moscow, Russia. Maria Ansh studied painting at Moscow Humanitarian-Technical Academy, Russia, graduating in 2015. Her works are about lyrical characters, life in the countryside and secluded places.
The countryside of Pavlovka in Russia has had a real influence on her artistic practice. The Russian landscape has become a symbol of freedom for her, and she continues to work on many storylines from her childhood. Currently, she finds inspiration in culture and life in the United States, planning to show an image of American life.
The artist has illustrated two books by a Ukrainian poet, and her work has been collected by collectors from Russia. Interior designers have also used her paintings in their projects. In 2020, the TV channel “Culture” interviewed her at the exhibition “Labyrinths of naive”.
Maria Ansh lives and works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
