For Maria Trishchetskaia, art is more than visual expression — it’s a bridge between the inner world and the outer one. The contemporary artist believes painting transforms a personal vision into something tangible, allowing others to “step into your inner world.” For her, that world revolves around spiritual art, reflection, and quiet connection.
It took time for Trishchetskaia to discover her artistic voice, but the evolution felt natural. “I keep collecting impressions and experiences, bringing them together like pieces of a mosaic,” she shares. “I try to weave everything into my existing style instead of chasing every new trend.”
Now based in Goa, India, the Russian-born artist draws inspiration from South Asian symbolism, philosophy, and visual culture. Her paintings often feature mandala patterns, floral motifs, intricate geometric forms, and soft, translucent palettes. These elements form a delicate balance — grounding her work in both serenity and complexity.
“For me, spirituality is about seeing the deep connections between things — people, symbols, cultures — and finding meaning in them,” Trishchetskaia explains. “In my art, I try to translate that sense of connection into visual form.”
That “translation” takes time, patience, and presence. Trishchetskaia describes her process as deeply meditative — layering color, shaping texture, and composing balance until a quiet harmony emerges. “When I paint, I need the work to carry a state of calm so that the viewer can feel it, too,” she says. “Whether it’s through symbols, geometry, or color, my goal is to create works that feel like small portals — moments of stillness and reflection.”
Her approach to meditative painting blurs the line between art and daily life. “My practice feels like a continuation of how I explore my interests every day,” she reflects. “Developing my practice feels less like work and more like a long-running experiment in turning life into art.”
Through her luminous, symbolic compositions, Maria Trishchetskaia invites us to slow down, breathe, and reconnect — not only with her art but with ourselves.
