ABOUT
ARTIST
1985



Born in a family of art historians and graduated cum laude from the National Institute of Fashion (Moscow, Russia), Marusya started her career in the beginning of the 2000s in the Russian editions of internationally renowned glossy magazines, namely Esquire and Vogue.

She pursued further education as a resident at School of Visual Arts (New York, USA), establishing her individual style of painting and art installations.

Her first personal exhibition took place when she was 19.

Ever since, she has been participating in numerous expositions all over the world. Camden Image Gallery in London, Spazio Temporary in Venice, La Chapelle Saint Antoine of the Naxos Island, Art4 Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow are among those who hosted her works.

Marusya gives a special place to the study of various aspects of the relationship between timelessness and modernity, whether it's the comprehension of the temporality of human existence, the image of a woman, or the revision of humanistic values in an era of global crisis.
