Masha Shishova was born on February 22, 1989.
Maria in her works, regardless of the medium, captures footage from the history of one big universe, focusing on its inhabitants and their relationships, and not on the space and time in which the depicted scenes take place.
"Almost always, the search for expressive and emotionally filled characters leads to playing with the form, to its exaggeration and redundancy. This world is certainly an attempt to escape and distance itself from reality, a world of mysterious heroes, symbols and signs that move from one picture to another, from canvas to paper, from plane to volume. Dog-heads and brooding beauties of the golden age of Hollywood, cold-blooded hunters and gentle victims, careless vegetables and wise living skeletons, traveling through a world too cheerful than the afterlife, but more gloomy than the real one. Stories for which no end has been invented, riddles that do not presuppose correct answers."
