Hey, I'm Maria Umanet,

A professional artist specializing in oil and acrylic painting, with a deep passion for storytelling through my work. Over the years, I have explored various themes, from personal reflections to global issues, exhibiting my work internationally in countries like Switzerland, the USA, and Italy. I have been recognized with prestigious awards, including the Grand Prix Winner of "Donne in Rinascita XII Edizione 2023" in Milan and the "Art Beyond Borders 2023" award for artistic and creative merit.

Beyond exhibiting, I have gained valuable experience teaching painting in Shanghai, where I guided both beginners and experienced artists. I have also refined my expertise by attending masterclasses, including Andrew Cadima’s Oil Painting Workshop. Additionally, I've pioneered a unique glow-in-the-dark painting technique, pushing the boundaries of artistic perception.
