Maria Serebriakova (born 1965) is a Russian artist, who lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
Although Maria Serebriakova refuses to describe her oeuvre as conceptual, she deals with the intrinsic and ontological problems of art.
[citation needed] The objects, installations, graphics and photographs of Serebriakova are linked to the artist's personal vision of existence.
Serebriakova brings her investigated subject matter of human tragedy of emptiness and loneliness, misunderstandings and cruelty to a universal and philosophical level.
The artist achieves this effect by offering a gesture that appeals to the most deeply hidden feelings of the viewer.
