The Fantastical Art of Maria Prymachenko

Prymachenko occupies one of the most honorable places among prominent figures of the 20th century's artistic culture, having achieved recognition among masters of "naive" art. Her originality of ideas, immediacy of self-expression, impeccable execution, lively expression, and vibrant colors captivate the viewer forever.


Creating for people, creating for all-encompassing beauty – this is what the artist saw as the purpose of her life.
