Marija Bazarova(50)

All artworks

Marija Bazarova stands out as an artist whose profoundly mystical and moving paintings often prompt viewers to remark that they have "never seen anything like this before." Her art is defined by a distinctive method that merges intense emotion with an air of mystery, enthralling audiences through its remarkable vision and expressive richness.

Throughout nearly ten years, Marija experimented with an array of painting techniques, each one shaping the development of her artistic identity. In 2015, after losing her fiancé to cancer, she uncovered her authentic style—a pivotal moment in her creative life that infused her work with new significance and deeper feeling.

Following this discovery, Marija threw herself into painting with unbroken focus, becoming so absorbed in her art that time itself felt suspended. The pieces from this era emerged with spontaneous intensity, featuring lines and shapes that continually fascinated and pleased her. Every painting is distinct, quietly awaiting the moment its future owner finds it.

Black frequently recurs in Marija’s work, serving both as a classic hue and as a tribute to her late fiancé’s favorite color. To her, and in line with interpretations from Japanese culture, black conveys happiness. Marija’s paintings reside in private collections across Italy, the United States, Canada, the UK, Germany, Ukraine, Lithuania, Chile, Switzerland, and Belgium, infusing interiors around the globe with mysticism and depth.

About this artwork+

The painting features a vivid portrait of a woman composed with bold, expressive brushstrokes. Her face is a mosaic of vibrant colors, predominantly reds and greens, splashed against a contrasting background of black and white. The colors seem to dance around her features, highlighting her piercing green eyes and full lips. Intricate black swirls and white accents frame her face, adding a dynamic and almost whimsical quality to the composition. The use of color and form convey a sense of emergence or rebirth, as if the subject is transitioning from one state to another amidst a flurry of floral-like patterns and abstract shapes.
