MEET THE ARTIST - BEEFBONES1
Mariia Usanova aka @beefbones1 is a multidisciplinary artist whose large scale oil paintings explore transformation, embodiment and subversive beauty. Working through a psychoanalytical lens, she creates surreal, semi-abstract portraits of women where hyper real faces meet dreamlike environments.
Her background in Makeup, SFX & Hair is integral to her practice, sharpening her eye for texture, skin, and materiality and deepening her exploration of the body as both symbolic and real.. Across multiple canvases and the close study of real bodies, her work confronts inherited ideals while honouring women as the centre of her artistic universe.
