Maria Andrievskaya
Born 1993
Lives and works in London, UK
Maria Andrievskaya’s practice explores the inner landscape and painting as a form of sensing rather than seeing, developed through a new visual language informed by her changing experience of vision. She begins with an empty surface, a place of uncertainty, attention and trust, following what emerges and allowing intuition, memory and bodily sensation to lead when vision begins to falter. The work is rooted in colour intensities and the preparation of the surface: she makes her own grounds, and once layered with oil and pigment, the painting becomes a terrain shaped by touch, pressure and time. She was awarded the Baton Prize by Flora Yukhnovich, Oli Epp and Natalia Gonzalez Martin, and has received several awards, including the ACS x City and Guilds Undergraduate Prize. She was also shortlisted for the Painter Stainers Prize.
