Masha Luch is a contemporary multimedia artist originally from a small town in the Pre-Ural region of Russia.

 

She holds a Master’s degree in Fashion Design from a university in St. Petersburg (2011), which marked the beginning of her professional career in the fashion industry. Over more than five years in the field, she began to develop her artistic voice, integrating design principles with conceptual approaches to visual expression.

 

In 2012, she completed a design course at Central Saint Martins, London, which expanded her creative methodology and introduced new directions in visual and motion design. In the following years, she worked as a designer and art director on projects for international brands, while continuing to explore personal artistic research.

 

Her current practice spans sculpture, textile-based art projects — drawing on her fashion background — and multimedia installations. In 2022, she deepened her approach to contemporary art by participating in a research-focused program in artistic methodologies, led by curator Hanna Zubkova (Paris). That same year, she published an independent research-based artist book, further expanding her interdisciplinary practice.

 

Masha currently lives and works in Podgorica, Montenegro. Her works are included in private collections internationally, reflecting a growing interest in her evolving artistic vision.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
 
My artistic practice is rooted in close observation of the everyday — the mundane, often overlooked details that silently shape our perception. I focus on subtle elements: angles, gestures, ephemeral phenomena. In them, I uncover alternate layers of meaning and elusive messages. Equally significant to my work is the exploration of what cannot be seen — moments that exist only in our imagination, desires, or memories. These inner experiences, formed through intuition and personal history, extend reality beyond the visible. I trace the boundary between the external and the imagined, between presence and projection.

My fascination with cryptograms and visual puzzles began during my studies in fashion design, where I approached clothing as a cultural disguise and a non-verbal form of psychological communication. This evolved into a sustained interest in the mimicry of objects, camouflage, and visual codes of concealment.

I work across textiles, sculpture, video, and digital media. This fluidity echoes one of the core themes of my practice — disguise. Through minimal, tactile, and open-ended visual language, I create spaces for multiple interpretations, inviting the viewer to complete the narrative through their own experiences.
