Maria Kruschewsky | Contemporary Artist in Florida

Maria Kruschewsky is a contemporary visual artist whose work explores memory, gesture, and presence through poetic abstraction. Working primarily with works on paper, painting, and mixed media, her practice investigates the tension between materiality and emotion, creating visual fields that evoke time, movement, and inner landscapes.

Rooted in a research-based and process-driven approach, her work embraces repetition, layering, and intuitive gesture as a form of visual language. Each piece carries traces of previous actions, revealing a dialogue between control and chance, permanence and transformation.

With an international trajectory, her work has been exhibited in museums, biennials, and contemporary art fairs across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and has received recognition and awards in international exhibitions, engaging in a global conversation on contemporary artistic practices.
