Maria Lukomsky is a Saint Petersburg-born, Berlin-based visual artist whose work navigates the interplay between color, texture, and form. With a background in graphic design, she approaches visual language as a means to translate quiet, unspoken emotions into form.

Her practice is rooted in the sensitivity of everyday life—in gestures that repeat and in moments that pass unnoticed. Watercolor remains central to her work for its transparency and spontaneity, while textile and sculptural processes allow her to give material shape to tenderness, exhaustion, and care.

In her current residency project at GlogauAIR, The Silence of Everyday Care, Lukomsky reflects on the quiet beauty and sadness within domestic routine. The project asks, “Can a caregiver also have a caregiver?”—a question that echoes throughout the small, repetitive gestures sustaining daily life. Working with papier-mâché, yarn, and found fabrics—some inherited from her mother, others discovered in flea markets—she explores how materials, like memories, intertwine across generations. In these fragile vessels and altar-like forms, the interweaving of threads becomes a metaphor for attachment itself— how lives, gestures, and histories overlap and hold. Through these quiet acts of making, Lukomsky turns care into presence, transforming repetition into reflection.
