Biography and information

Maria Pankratova is an artist and supporter of the theory of biophilia, i.e. human love and longing for nature and all living things in general.

Several years ago she experienced a severe lack of nature on herself. It affected her health and emotional state.

Then she decided to move to the countryside and became interested in the connection between the natural environment and humans. Many studies have been found, confirming the beneficial effects of nature on the mental and physical health of people.

This fact prompted Maria to paint landscapes to help those who have little contact with nature and solve their problem through painting.
After all, it is scientifically proven that the real landscape outside the window and the landscape in the picture have a similar effect.
