Maria Birger

I was born and raised in Russia in a small southern town, then lived in Moscow, a big metropolis eats souls. My soul demanded changes, I wanted to see the world with greed and the eyes of a child, I have always been delighted with the existence of our world — especially nature.

I started Created in Bali — it was my place where the soul began to know itself, my first paintings were painted, with gouache and pencils, and then the journey and the taste of something new every day began. After 5 years of traveling,

I found myself married. We lived three years on Spitsbergen, in the far north beyond the Arctic Circle, an ascetic life — the beauty and severity of nature and its power.
