Maria Naidyonova is a Ukrainian-born, Berlin-based fine artist, specializing in evolved figurative painting, drawing and animation. Ms. Naidyonova’s work successfully captures and infuses moments with the hidden meaning inherent in everyday life.
Earlier work focused on plein aire and figure studies, while newer pieces employ painterly tension, abstraction and intensity to more artistically realize the human condition. Classical, yet contemporary, much like Berlin itself, Naidyonova’s work is steeped in art history, yet it pulsates with a strong current of now and provides glimpses into what lays ahead. Always evolving, always working towards what is new, while honoring creative traditions, Naidyonova is an example of the past and future existing together in the now, all captured on canvas in her own signature style.
