About me

Maria Kruschewsky is a Brazilian-born visual artist based in Florida, recognized for a refined visual language that blends emotional depth with technical mastery. She holds a degree in Visual Arts from the Federal University of Bahia, and her artistic practice spans painting, metal engraving, monotype, and sculpture, exploring memory, symbolism, and the silent power of gesture.

Her work has been exhibited in many countries, including prestigious venues such as the Louvre Art Fair (Paris), the Biennial of Contemporary Art in Macedonia, the Biennial of Portugal (Lisbon), the Japan International Printmaking Exhibition (Tokyo), the Museu Rodin (Salvador), and the Palacete das Artes (Bahia). In the United States, her work has been shown in New York, Miami, and Fort Lauderdale, and she has donated pieces to the Brazilian Consulate in Miami.

Maria’s art embodies a timeless aesthetic poetic, precise, and created for discerning collectors. Each piece invites contemplation and reveals a quiet presence that transcends time and space. Her works are part of private and institutional collections across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
Now based in Orlando, Florida, Maria continues to expand her artistic journey with a vision rooted in global dialogue and contemporary sophistication
