Blossom II Rug by Maria ZakiosoDimensions: W 96 x L 200 x H 5 cmMaterials: Wool, Acrylic Wool, Mohair. Maria Lysenko is a 28 year old contemporary artist born in Ufa, Russia. She started her art practice a few years ago, while working in fashion. Her latest furniture designs are reflections on the experience she had coming out of a challenging emotional episode and the transformations she went through to accept herself and her psychological state. Through merging synthetic beauty materials like artificial hair and nails extensions with natural materials that can be shaped by hand (clay, fabric, papier mâché) she explores ways in which appearance changes the perception of an object.
