Sobre el Artista

Real name is Maria Shestakova, I write under the pseudonym Mari Dein.     Born in Nefteyugansk, a small town in Siberia. Up to 12 years old, my father taught me how to paint, just as his uncle taught him, we can say that we have a small dynasty of artists. At the age of 12 I went to art school. After graduating from the Ural Architectural and Art Academy. I traveled a lot and part of my family lives in different countries: Germany, Ukraine, Norway. This greatly affects my perception of the world, increases my horizons. Now I live and create in Ekaterinburg.   Art is a way of transmitting thoughts and exposing emotions. I like to find inspiration in color and texture, which is reflected in my work.      I try to develop my technique with a palette knife and experiment with others. In particular - epoxy painting, so rare for Russia.
