ABOUT THE ARTIST​

Rita Maikova (b. 1990, Ukraine) lives and works in Barcelona. She studied Fine Arts at the Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design, graduating in 2012. The artist weaves forms and symbols taken from her personal life that explore interlocking themes of love, change, and resilience. Maikova's characters are various and unique, embedded into the landscape that flows through and around them. They are the inventions of her imagination, but they are also visions of a world in harmony. For Maikova, the act of creation is a healing process which unlocks access to her imagination allowing her to make candid yet surreal compositions.
