Maria Motowylczyk is a British contemporary artist of Ukrainian descent who creates expressive, material-led works.
Born in the East Midlands and a graduate of Graphic Design from the University of Wolverhampton, she transitioned from a successful career as a designer and illustrator to focus on Fine Art.
Maria utilises a diverse range of media in her work, including watercolour, charcoal, acrylic, plaster and more recently fabric, often combining them to create layered, textured compositions. Her notable drawings and charcoal works explore the rugged beauty of sites such as Neolithic ruins and winter woodlands. Her artistic process is characterised by a philosophy of continuous development, where no piece is ever considered finished, but rather a stepping stone for the next visual journey.
Her work has gained significant recognition, including being selected for the RWA 173 Open (2026), The Ironbridge Fine Arts Competition (Winner of the Spike Island Prize) and the Baltic Contemporary Open 2024. In 2017 she received first prize at the Fishguard Arts Society Open from sculptor and Art Critic Peter Lord.
She has exhibited at prestigious venues such as the Green & Stone Gallery, London, Zillah Bell Contemporary, Tinker Gallery and Ironbridge Fine Arts.
