Sainte Maria is an illustrator and artist whose hand-painted works are instantly recognizable for their distinctive style. Inspired by avant-garde movements and deeply influenced by the worlds of fashion and design, she discovered her passion for illustration while completing her Master’s degree in graphic design. Since then, her art has gained international recognition, capturing objects, sceneries, and everyday moments with elegance and character. She has collaborated with leading international agencies, brands, companies, and magazines, bringing her unique vision to a wide range of creative projects. Maria transforms the ordinary into timeless works of art.


"Her illustrations strip things down from exuberance and reflect fashion in its all beauty.

... From Chanel shows through the creations of Gosha Rubchinskyi and Balenciaga to a Carmex lip balm, she takes down the barriers between what is commercial and sophisticated. Infusing art with a sense of infantile purity, her illustrations do not shout to be seen, but somehow grab the eye. Maria captures objects and sceneries in a modern way but always with a dash of whimsy."
