Cosmic Plants (2025)Mixed-media painting by Mariia Raskin

This painting is my bold experiment with color. What happens when you bring together colors that seem completely incompatible? The result is a cosmic disco: movement and explosions of color. It’s one of those moments when an ordinary plant can grow to giant, planetary proportions, or shrink into something miniature. Overall, this painting invites endless imagination and truly stimulates the viewer’s sense of wonder with its striking originality.

▶ ART PAINTING TECHNIQUE
My artworks are characterized by a distinctive organic texture and layered surface.
I work in a unique oil-on-water paper technique, where fluid oil-based pigments are guided across the surface of water and then carefully transferred onto fine art paper. Each sheet is created individually, which makes every pattern completely non-repeatable and naturally formed.
These organically textured papers become the foundation of my mixed-media compositions. I use them as a base layer and further develop the artwork through collage and painting.
Details and final expressive elements are painted by hand with acrylics, allowing me to combine spontaneous natural patterns with controlled artistic refinement.
