Amazing style of this artist captivates immediately. The nostalgic atmosphere of her drawings is visible, you have only to take a closer look at them. Perhaps this is the real art, when a person with ordinary pencils and paper that can be bought in any store creates something very special and beautiful. The artist Maria Zeldis was born and raised in the Ukraine, trained as a professional pianist, and shared the love for the plastic arts with her twin sister. In the early 90s Maria moved to Mexico, where she currently lives and works. For the last 15 years Maria has dedicated her creativity to painting, drawing and design. Maria Zeldis’ works have our mentality and taste. The pretty orthodox girl that places a candle in the temple, and the girl in the window has so familiar Slavic features… The titles of her paintings depicting beautiful golden domes of orthodox churches – “Nostalgia”. Maria Zeldis’ favorite writer is Fyodor Dostoevsky. The artist creates nothing shocking, her work is not intended to arouse public opinion, it rather makes you forget about everyday problems and just enjoy the beauty of the surrounding world.
All these pencil drawings are created with the soul and talent, which the artist is clearly not deprived of. Delicate, heartfelt paintings of the artist can be called a true art. Critics say about the work of Mary as “full of feelings, they live and breathe“. After her work gained worldwide attention, Maria has hosted numerous expositions in museums across Europe and Latin America, her art is featured in museums, and private collections.
