Born in Siberia, Masha Lovà developed her artistic language through early academic training before continuing her studies in Paris and later settling in Rome, where she now lives and works.
Alongside her artistic practice, she deepened her education within the fashion industry — an experience that shaped her sensitivity to material, gesture, tension, and visual construction. This dual background informs a body of work that moves between delicacy and psychological intensity.

Her paintings explore the emotional territory between humans, animals and memory.

Within intimate and emotionally charged compositions, bodies appear suspended between instinct and control, tenderness and unease. Working primarily with mixed media on canvas and paper, Lovà employs soft pastel palettes that conceal underlying emotional tension, creating images that feel both fragile and quietly unsettling.

Recurring throughout her work, animals are not symbolic figures but emotional counterparts—presences through which intimacy, fear, dependence and protection are explored on equal terms.


Her work has been presented in galleries, art fairs and independent exhibition spaces across Europe, where it has been recognized for its distinctive visual language and emotionally resonant narratives.
