About | Maria Maaneskiold | llustrator in Oslo

Maria Maaneskiold(b.1994) is a Norwegian artist and illustrator. Her work is characterised by the consequences of unequally distributed power and being the victim of others' lack of ability to resist temptation. Recurring themes are social boundaries, power positions, sexuality, identity, and escapism - often expressed through humor and a sense of magical realism. She grew up escaping into cartoons and have always struggled with the boundaries between fantasy and reality. Her art is therefore described as a "liminal space" between these two
