Artworks by Maria Seltsova

Interested in the oriental culture, Maria Seltsova has taken mystical and philosophical references to adapt them to her artistic creations. The artist's proposal focuses on translating the pictorial act into a process of healing and meditation. Also, taking elements of tantra and self-satisfaction, the artist seeks to question the taboos that revolve around sexual pleasure and female masturbation. Her main project entitled "Love yourself" is based on the principles of body art and action painting to combine the aforementioned statements.

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 kinds of research towards the different artistic manifestations that involve corporeality, feminism, and forgiveness.
