The artist Maria Kuzmanova-MARIKUZA was born on May 25th 1948 in the city of Sofia, Bulgaria.

She has graduated from the Technical School of Ceramic and Glass studies, Decoration Section.
For many years she has done photo editing and touches ups for the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce.

In 1998, the will of the fortune took her to Beirut, Lebanon, where she lived for 2 years. It was there where she found her vocation and where she made her first humble appearances in the art circles.
She started writing poems and started painting with oil paints, in the beginning landscapes and flowers, and later on images that she has seen in her mind and then she recreate on the canvas.
They are these messages of the universe that she strongly believes are meant for the good of the humankind.
She cannot describe the feeling when she is writing or painting. The closest that she can explain it is that it is striving for the prosperity and the good of the whole. She accepts all the colors in different times of inspiration and she tries to pass on this invigorating energy to every person who looks at her creations.
Since 2001 till now the artist Marikuza lives with her family in Atlanta, USA. She has displayed her paintings not only in galleries, but in various other institutions – according whatever possibilities are.
Her first art shows were in Atlanta in 2002 and 2003, followed by another show in Savannah, Georgia in January 2004. At the same year, in March 2004, she has a show in the “World Fine Art” gallery in New York. In 2005 she was part of a combined art show in a private gallery in Belize.
Nevertheless she displays her works in local churches, credit institutes and banks, with the only thought of helping people to see and to stir the positive thinking which can be found deep in the souls of all human beings. For her the spirituality is main driving force and her desires are through her paintings and poems to touch the souls of the people that are ready to open their mind towards the goodness and the light.
