Artworks by Margarita Stepanova

Margarita Stepanova is a Ukrainian-born visual artist based in Melbourne, Australia. She holds a degree in Fine Art and Computer Design and has a professional background in painting, drawing, and visual composition.

Her current body of work explores human connection through the symbolic language of hands. Touch, distance, memory, and unspoken emotion become central subjects in paintings created with restrained colour, layered texture, and figurative realism.

Rather than depicting specific identities, Stepanova uses gestures that allow viewers to connect the imagery with their own relationships and memories. Her works explore how brief moments of contact can leave a lasting emotional trace.

Her original artworks are held in private collections internationally.
