In the work I tried to understand how the environment in which I grew up influenced my coming of age and my personality. I tried to recreate a kind of universal yet personal and predominantly feminine figurative language. And - how many times already! - I notice with a surprise that none of the images emerge from the others, and that the exhibition as a whole carries contradictions that are still looking for a resolution.
This painting was part of my personal exhibition in Draakoni gallery, Tallinn, Estonia in July 2023.

Maria Lapteva is a contemporary Estonian artist. Her creative philosophy is deeply rooted in the exploration of conveying ideas and thoughts in their purest, unadulterated form. With an innate curiosity, Maria is intrigued by the challenge of presenting objects and concepts as abstract forms, divorced from personal associations and free from any positive or negative judgment.

In her paintings, Maria masterfully portrays a myriad of objects and images, seamlessly integrating them into compositions that mirror their real-life expressions and functions within a larger system. Her artistic approach reflects a profound belief in the absence of value judgments such as "good" or "bad" in the grand scheme of the universe. Maria views every facet of life as an integral part of this vast cosmic tapestry.

Maria Lapteva's dedication to her craft is underpinned by her academic journey, which culminated in the attainment of a master's degree in painting from the esteemed Estonian Academy of Arts in 2014. Her artistic journey has been marked by a rich history of exhibitions, with her participation dating back to 2008. Notably, she is an esteemed member of the Estonian Artists Association, a testament to her standing in the Estonian art community. Furthermore, Maria held the position of chairman of the board of the Estonian Painters Association from 2015 to 2017, demonstrating her leadership and commitment to fostering the arts in her homeland.
