Maria Maaneskiold(b.1994) is a Norwegian artist based in Oslo. She mainly works with illustration and painting, but also sculpture, and performative art. The core of her work is generally focused around how women experience and cope with life. She combines personal experiences of escapism and fever dreams with a sense of magical realism. And explores themes like the psychological relationship between adulthood, childhood and social boundaries.
With a background as a professional art director alongside her art practice, she is a conceptual artist with a very visual perspective.
