Shishova Maria

"In my work, regardless of medium, I capture frames from the story of one larger universe, focusing on its inhabitants and their relationships rather than on the space and time in which the scenes depicted take place. Painting, graphics, ceramics, assemblages in this case are simply different ways of storytelling and are embedded in one artistic practice."

"In my work, regardless of medium, I capture frames from the story of one larger universe, focusing on its inhabitants and their relationships rather than on the space and time in which the scenes depicted take place. Painting, graphics, ceramics, assemblages in this case are simply different ways of storytelling and are embedded in one artistic practice. 

Almost always the search for expressive and emotionally fulfilling characters leads to a play with form, to its exaggeration and redundancy. This world is undoubtedly an attempt at escaping and distancing from reality, a world of mysterious characters, symbols and signs, moving from one picture to another, from canvas to paper, from plane to volume. The psychedeles and brooding beauties of Hollywood's golden age, the cold-blooded hunters and gentle victims, the careless vegetables and wise living skeletons, the journeys through a world too cheerful than the afterlife, but more dusky than the real one. Stories for which no end has been invented, riddles that assume no right answers."
