Mariya Borysova is a Ukrainian contemporary artist, based in London, UK.
She explores the facets of female nature, motherhood, sacrifice and freedom.
Her works search for wonder in the simplest, most familiar subjects. Both physical and otherworldly light pass through her paintings. Her style borders realism and symbolism and references Ukrainian folk ornaments and floral Dutch still life. Mariya uses a mix of modern technologies and the Flemish Technique of multi-layered oil painting.
