Hello there!

Welcome
I'm Maria — a self-taught artist whose work is deeply inspired by personal transformation and a fascination with the many layers of identity.

This space is both a gallery and a journey. In the Art Shop, you'll find original pieces currently available for purchase, while the Portfolio offers a look at past works that have found their homes.

I see painting as a powerful medium — one that invites reflection, sparks connection, and opens new paths of understanding between ourselves and others.

I'm always open to creative collaborations that challenge and expand my practice. Whether it's through projects in music venues, festivals, healing spaces, or therapeutic environments, I’m passionate about contributing to experiences that move people.

Thank you for visiting.

Reach out if you find my work interesting!

Best regards, MKN

Gallery MKN (2021–2024)

For three wonderful years, I had the privilege of running Gallery MKN—a creative playground where art, community, and inspiration came together. Nestled in the heart of Amager, the gallery served as both my studio and an exhibition space, welcoming friends, followers, and the local community into what became a little artistic haven.

Gallery MKN came to life in the spring of 2022, breathing new energy into a space that once bustled with the vibrant activity of a vegetable shop. Renovating and transforming that old shop into a hub of creativity was an incredible journey in itself, setting the stage for what would become an unforgettable chapter.

What made Gallery MKN truly special was its unique location. With few art galleries in the area, it brought a fresh and vibrant energy to the street, offering something new and exciting for the community to experience.

When visitors stepped inside, they weren’t just entering a gallery—they were stepping into a world of color, emotion, and imagination. Whether seasoned art enthusiasts or curious newcomers, everyone found something to connect with in the space.

Gallery MKN was also a platform for emerging artists. I loved hosting exhibitions that showcased the incredible creativity of the community, offering a space where new talent could shine and artistic expression could flourish.

Though Gallery MKN has now closed its doors, the memories and creative energy it fostered remain. It wasn’t just a gallery—it was a celebration of creativity, artistic community, and the extraordinary beauty of everyday life.

Thank you
