Maria was born in Ekaterinburg, Russia. Her exposure to the world of art began in early childhood when she started to play the violin. She graduated from Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory and, after that, moved to Israel. There she decided to develop her artistic spirit more by acquiring new visual arts skills, studying photography in Gavra Photography School (Tel Aviv).

Nowadays, Maria expresses her passion for art through photography and music. She plays violin in the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and makes fine art photographs. In her fine art photography' field of interests, there are still life photographs with an emphasis on vegetal objects, work with the human body, self-portraits, and architecture.

The Old Masters Recreations Series started in 2018 with the picture Summer from Compost Bin which was my recreation of Giuseppe Arcimboldo's famous painting Summer from the Four Seasons series. For this work, I used the waste from my home's compost bin.
