About Anna-Maria
Self-portrait from project “A personal visual diary of motherhood” (2022)
Anna-Maria Vaskovskaja (b. 1992) graduated from the Photography Department at Pallas University of Applied Sciences, where she was introduced to the fundamental principles and techniques of the art form. During her studies, she had the opportunity to further her knowledge at Escola Superior Artística do Porto in Porto, Portugal, where she lived from 2014 to 2017.
Anna-Maria is a freelance photographer and visual artist whose practice centres on film photography. Driven by a deep curiosity, her work explores subjects that hold both personal and cultural significance. She investigates how cultural narratives have historically romanticised certain themes and how these ideals persist in contemporary contexts. Alongside this, her practice engages with questions of identity through introspective visual storytelling. In addition to her photographic work, she experiments with mixed media, combining photography, painting, and collage to create layered, tactile compositions.
