Maria Schvetz

I began with —'s academic painting of ordinary, comprehensible paintings, trying to accurately convey the shape of things, light and detail. But over time, I got bored just copying what I could take a picture of in a second. Wanted to add a miracle to our reality . That's how I came to magical realism.
My paintings do not obey the laws of physics, objects on them can change in time and space or change their properties. I do this on purpose, adding a poetic view of the world. I want a person, looking at the picture, briefly distracted from everyday thoughts, slowed down and listened to himself. My work — is an easy way to complement the usual reality and remind: everything is possible in our world.

I love flowers and I have them everywhere: on the floor, on the windowsill, on clothes, and of course, on canvases. Probably because of this, my workshop reminds me of a branch of heaven.
