Maria Serebriakova

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maria Serebriakova is a Russian artist. Born in 1965 in Moscow, she now lives and works in Berlin, Germany.

Serebriakova’s body of work mainly consists of installations, graphics, objects and photographs. Every work exudes an overwhelming sense of loneliness and despair. She approaches this ‘condition humaine’ (the fate of Man) on a very philosophic and universal manner. Her art can be viewed as a search for her own identity and for the lost distinctiveness of human kind. On a more ontological level Serebriakova views art as a means of communication, superseding language. As a true partisan to Wittgenstein she feels art can express what one cannot describe in words.

Serebriakova’s work was included in a number of international exhibitions, e.g. Documenta IX in 1992. In 2007 she is participating in the 2nd Moscow Biennale, Moscow.
