About the artist

Beauty, mystery
& quiet magic

Hi, I’m Maria, welcome to my art studio.

I’m a self-taught watercolour artist with a deep appreciation for the natural world and its ever-changing moods.

My journey into painting began during a period of corporate burnout, when I found myself longing for something slower, more meaningful and more connected to who I was beyond work.

Watercolour became a way to reconnect with my creativity, quiet the constant noise of overthinking and rediscover the simple joy of making something with my hands. I’m drawn to paint landscapes, misty forests, distant mountains, vast skies, reflections on water and the fleeting beauty of changing light.

I love the contrast between melancholy and wonder, the vastness of nature and the quiet intimacy of being present in it.
