Maria Silent is a self-taught photographer, living in Saratov, Russia.

Her art is a talk about problems, ecology, human relations, self-inquiry. Photography is a method for her to get acquainted with herself, to overcome pain, to say a word, to indicate something that is called normal in our everyday life, but surely destroys us. In her own surreal way she shows that human is the most wonderful creation of God.

Some of her works became therapeutic not only for her, but also for those people who had hard times and needed to know they are not alone.
