Masha Bright

In her works, Masha Bright tries to capture the pulse of cities, turning the rhythms of world capitals into tender stories. Her paintings are not so much figurative as they are sensual.

Masha Bright creates a narrative through shades, collecting architecture, colors and silhouettes of people into a sensual canvas. The paintings of this artist can be touched with your hands; she breaks the rules so that the viewer's sensory experience is complete. Masha conveys the spirit of travel and offers the viewer a new sensory experience that goes beyond the visual.

Masha Bright's creative process begins with research. She wanders the city streets, taking in the sounds and smells, often capturing fleeting moments with quick sketches or photographs. In her studio, the artist transforms these fragments of experience into compositions that reflect her personal dialogue with each city. This process is both spontaneous and focused, combining abstract expression with detailed observation, always underpinned by a commitment to an honest portrayal of the essence of each location. Honesty is one of Masha Bright’s values, both personal and creative.

When Masha Bright began her career, Instagram was vigorously gaining strength. A new type of advertising emerged in which ideas centered on quick sales and instant effects dominated. In the midst of a moment when classical forms of communication were becoming a thing of the past, she created a soft style of visual storytelling and began her career as an artist. Masha developed a writing style in which it became possible to talk about travel using feelings, rather than loud advertising slogans.

Travel is not the only part of the creative expression of her work. Masha draws on many sources beyond her travels and is inspired by classic collectibles from different eras: medieval realistic painting, French design, Claude Lalanne and Mark Rothko, the contrasts of modern fashion and natural materials - creating a personal voice. 

She was especially impressed by the works of the sculptor Maria Perge. Firstly, she worked in a period when women had no place in serious art; it was believed that their task was to choose which wreath to hang on the fireplace for Christmas. M. Perge's artistic career began with the creation of decorative paintings for the windows of fashion boutiques in Paris. And Masha Bright began studying painting techniques with applied decoupage; this technical approach is close to her. In the late 1950s, Maria Perge began experimenting with metals and created a delicate collection of silverware. Her approach to work and attention to detail inspired Masha to work with color in her paintings. Please note that some of her pieces have subtle gold and silver hues as a nod to vintage pieces.

Masha Bright collects a lace of subjects from paving stones, leaves and textiles, seasoning them with feelings, honing every stroke so that her viewer can get to her beloved Paris, lying in her own living room.
