About this episode
Maria Kova is a full time artist living in Dubai, UAE.
She grew up in Russia and at age 24 moved to South East Asia, mostly Bali, in search of her own new identity and exciting future.
Never looked back since then, travelled around the world and for the past 6 years living and thriving in Dubai.
Maria always thought of herself as an artist and she loved painting since as far as she could remember.
But she didn’t pursue an art career until 5 years back. Painting remained her hobby for decades. Reason for it is quite common and trivial especially for a girl from a small Russian town. People said “You can never make a living off art”, “Artists always starve” they say, just marry a good man and live a peaceful life.
Maria always wanted to be independent and to live a full life.
So the more she grew up in age and in self-awareness, she understood that nothing matters more than being yourself. And if you put your mind to something that is truly important to you, You will succeed.
