Macha Poynder

Macha Poynder was born in 1962 in Moscow. She has lived and worked in Paris since 1982. She has a degree from the Ecole Nationale des Arts Décoratifs (Paris).
Both in Moscow and Paris, she spent time with her teachers who transferred to her the knowledge, an eye, and roots. She is spending her life enriching them and stretching them through numerous voyages, in attempting to go beyond them, continuing her personal exploration towards that which never ceases to open up, towards the very sources of painting. Since 2011, she explores some new artistic fields around the light and the movement.
