Maria Lukomsky is a visual artist from Saint Petersburg, based in Berlin. In her practice, she explores themes of motherhood, attachment, and care. Working across watercolor, textile, and installation, she seeks quiet, tactile forms that hold emotion through touch, time, and fragility.

In her residency project, The Silence of Everyday Care, at GlogauAIR, Lukomsky explores the invisible labour of caregiving — the beauty and the cost of repetition, tenderness, and exhaustion. Using papier-mâché, wool yarn, and old fabrics passed through generations, she creates vessels and textiles that hold traces of domestic rituals and time.

Her works become soft monuments to the unnoticed — an invitation to pause, listen and feel how care quietly shapes the everyday.
