MARIA SAINTE

Maria Sainte is an artist and illustrator. Maria creates hand painted artwork mostly based around everyday life through the lens of art, fashion and design. She captures objects and sceneries in a modern way but always with a dash of whimsy.
The artistic style of the artist formed under the influence by naive art, design, abstract art and fashion. She uses the pallet of the fading colors of nature: earth, stone, gray sky, winter sea and others.

Her work has been featured in Instagram, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, The Interview magazine, Bon Appetit Mag among others, and she has collaborated with an array of clients including 2x4 Agency, Brand Bureau NY, Taittinger Champagne, Champagne Leclerc Briant, Ermenegildo Zegna, Hotel Esprit de France Group, Levain Bakery NY, COS and many others.
