Biography
Born in Vologda, Russia in 1974, Maria Tulchinskaya draws inspiration from multicultural influences and masterpieces of world art. In 2022, she emigrated, which profoundly impacted her artistic practice — shifting her focus toward self-discovery, memory, and assimilation in a new cultural space. Her works explore emotional resilience, displacement, and transformation through metaphorical narratives and hybrid photographic techniques. She currently resides and works in California, USA.
