Welcome!
Lilit Shintaro is a Russian artist, working and living in Moscow.
Her main inspiration comes from human nature and our reality. She expresses herself through forms of the usual objects taking them from the environment and placing their shapes into her paintings.
Lilit has lots of what to say to all the world with her artworks and she does it. Instead of showing everything to the viewer, she gives them a reason to contemplate based on stories that are hidden inside her paintings.

France, USA
Man Ray, born Emmanuel Radnitzky, was an American visual artist who played a significant role in the Dada and Surrealist movements. His pioneering efforts in photography, alongside his work in painting and sculpture, have cemented his place as a major figure in modern art. Known for his innovative techniques and the ability to convey complex ideas through simple, striking visuals, Man Ray's contribution to the art world is profound.
Throughout his career, Man Ray was celebrated for his avant-garde approach and his ability to transcend traditional boundaries between different artistic mediums. His photography, characterized by experimental techniques such as solarization and rayographs (cameraless photographs), challenged conventional perceptions of photography as merely a means of representation. These artistic innovations made him a central figure in both Parisian and American art circles.
Man Ray's works are housed in some of the world's most prestigious museums and galleries, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. His pieces, such as "Le Violon d'Ingres" and "Noire et Blanche," are iconic images that continue to influence artists today. His ability to blend the abstract with the realistic, and the humorous with the serious, has left a lasting legacy in the world of art.
For collectors and experts in art and antiques, the work of Man Ray offers a glimpse into the revolutionary changes that shaped the visual arts in the 20th century. His unique perspective and pioneering techniques continue to inspire and challenge those interested in the boundaries of creativity and expression.

My name is Mary Romanova, I’m an Artist from Russia. I was born on May 17, 1986. As a child, I drew always and everywhere, on any surface - at home on tables, wallpaper, doors, in the entrance on the walls, even on the ceiling! I've always liked big sizes, bright colors, and bold images.
In 2003, I successfully graduated from College with a degree in design and from the Fine Arts School in Izhevsk. I continued to improve, get new knowledge and skills. So with honors, I graduated from the state Academy of Culture and Arts in Samara in 2008.
In 2009, I successfully graduated from Samara State Socio-Pedagogical University, Department of Transcultural Communications.
I specialize in interior art, working in various techniques via modern trends, exploring materials possibilities, and different approaches to painting.
I represent the most daring and relevant solutions for decorating your home walls. Abstract paintings are universal, and this is their main advantage over other styles. A large degree of artistic freedom and the absence of stylistic frames allows my artwork to fit into any interior. I prefer to work with acrylic and texture paste.
I sincerely believe that the need for beauty and creativity that embodies it, the ability to find the unusual in everyday life is the essence of human nature, the secret of harmony, and the emotional balance of the individual. In my artworks, I share how I see our world. Here I can allow myself to be completely honest.
I’m inspired by beautiful sunsets, the azure sea, travel to new lands, and of course my lovely family. Fitness gives me power and energy.
I opened an Art Studio "MARY ART ROOM" in the summer of 2019. My paintings adorn the home interiors of collectors around the world, create a pleasant atmosphere in company offices, place bright accents in the halls of cafes and restaurants, and are part of hotels interior decor.
Welcome to my world! A world where dreams become reality on canvas!

I live in the longest city in Europe, Krivoy Rog, Ukraine.
I work in several styles. My abstract paintings were written under the influence of Mark Rothko, Gerhard Richter.
The general style gravitates towards simplicity and minimalism.
There are favorite colors: gray, red, black, blue, green.
For people of the Soviet post-space, there is a mini series about hedgehogs in the fog, something native from the past.
There is also love of pop art, also a small series so far, but there is an over distinctive feature of the series, in addition to black and white, I use real sparkles that glisten effectively under bright light. This is pop culture after all! Must be catchy!

Мое творчество - это соединение разных видов искуссств. Я - Максим Зиновьев являюсь художником, композитором и поэтом. И когда начинаю писать, то зачастую включаю музыку и начинаю процесс. Многое зависит от внутреннего состояния. Недавно я был в состоянии экзистенциального кризиса, эпизод тяжелей депрессии, и включив музыку написал "Философское дерево", которое мне самому очень нравится. Синтез восприятия одного искусства приводит меня к созданию другого искусства.
My work is a combination of different types of arts. I, Maxim Zinoviev, am an artist, composer and poet. And when I start writing, I often turn on the music and start the process. Much depends on the inner state. Recently I was in a state of existential crisis, an episode harder than depression, and having included the music I wrote "The Philosophical Tree", which I myself really like. The synthesis of the perception of one leads me to the creation of another art.
