Masha Afanssiev

I have been drawing since childhood. In school, I used to sketch portraits of my friends abundantly. For a while after, I was into watercolors and drew numerous illustrations. But now, acrylic is my favorite medium for self-expression.

I have a background in the medical field and have spent numerous years working as a cosmetologist. I have a profound fascination with faces, finding joy in examining each tiny dot and speck.

The female face is a thing of beauty! In my portraits, I use vibrant colors to capture all the diversity of the female character, in which so much coexists harmoniously – love and power, tenderness and fierce strength, mystery and childlike candor, dreaminess and resolute determination. Just like any woman, my mood is ever-changing, and I simply cannot confine myself to a single theme. Hence, alongside portraits, my artistic repertoire includes landscapes and abstract creations.
