Hello there!

Welcome to my site, a digital space where you can view all my work currently available for purchase (Art Shop) or previous works already sold (Portfolio).

I am Maria, a self taught artist deeply inspired by my own personal journey and a profound curiosity for the multifaceted aspects of identity. With each pen and brushstroke, I endeavor to capture not just images but the essence of emotions, memories, and the ever-evolving self.

As an artist, I believe in the transformative power of paintings to illuminate the paths of self-discovery and inspire meaningful connections with others. Together, let us explore the intersections of art, identity, and personal narrative, celebrating the diversity and uniqueness of the human spirit.

Thank you for visiting. I am honored to share this journey with you and eagerly anticipate the stories we will uncover together on this colorful voyage of self-expression.

Best regards, MKN

Gallery MKN (2021–2024)

For three wonderful years, I had the privilege of running Gallery MKN—a creative playground where art, community, and inspiration came together. Nestled in the heart of Amager, the gallery served as both my studio and an exhibition space, welcoming friends, followers, and the local community into what became a little artistic haven.

Gallery MKN came to life in the spring of 2022, breathing new energy into a space that once bustled with the vibrant activity of a vegetable shop. Renovating and transforming that old shop into a hub of creativity was an incredible journey in itself, setting the stage for what would become an unforgettable chapter.

What made Gallery MKN truly special was its unique location. With few art galleries in the area, it brought a fresh and vibrant energy to the street, offering something new and exciting for the community to experience.

When visitors stepped inside, they weren’t just entering a gallery—they were stepping into a world of color, emotion, and imagination. Whether seasoned art enthusiasts or curious newcomers, everyone found something to connect with in the space.

Gallery MKN was also a platform for emerging artists. I loved hosting exhibitions that showcased the incredible creativity of the community, offering a space where new talent could shine and artistic expression could flourish.

Though Gallery MKN has now closed its doors, the memories and creative energy it fostered remain. It wasn’t just a gallery—it was a celebration of creativity, artistic community, and the extraordinary beauty of everyday life.

Thank you

Warmest regards,
