Maria Seltsova
BIO
Maria Seltsova (Ulyanovsk ,1986)
Seltsova studied painting at the Noella Roos art school in the island of Bali, Indonesia. Interested in the oriental culture, Seltsova has taken mystical and philosophical references to adapt them to her artistic creations. The artist proposal focuses on translating the pictorial act into a process of healing and meditation.
For the artist to employ her own body as an artistic tool is a form of healing her past memories. Her art despite the intricate abstraction of colors is a confessional art, where the artist deposits part of her history, her body and energy. Maria keeps doing several researches towards the different artistic manifestations that involve corporeality, feminism and forgiveness.

Also, taking elements of tantra, the artist seeks to question the taboos that revolve around sexual pleasure and female masturbation. Her most recent project entitled "Love yourself" is based on the principles of body art and action painting to combine the aforementioned statements.
