ABOUT MARGARITA

Margarita Howis is an internationally recognized contemporary artist based between Copenhagen and New York, whose emotionally charged paintings bridge fine art, music, and cultural storytelling. Her work explores the complexity of identity, transformation, and feminine power -revealing the tension between divinity and human vulnerability, surface beauty and inner truth.

​

Born in Russia and shaped by life across seven countries, Howis channels her architectural background into a unique visual language that fuses structural precision with cinematic emotion. Her signature style - a fusion of figurative realism, abstraction, and glitch aesthetics - captures the duality of strength and softness, creating paintings that feel intimate yet mythic.

​

Her emotionally intelligent works have attracted a diverse global audience, with collectors ranging from fine art investors to cultural tastemakers and musicians such as Jason Derulo, Offset, Lil Yachty, and AQUA. Through her portraits and conceptual pieces, Howis translates emotion into form, often portraying figures that embody resilience, sensuality, and spiritual rebirth.

Beyond the canvas, Margarita is deeply committed to art as a force for connection and transformation. She has collaborated with organizations such as UN, Lives Amplified and the Wildlife Foundation, using her platform to amplify themes of empowerment, environmental consciousness, and cultural dialogue.

For Howis, painting is both rebellion and devotion - a sacred form of storytelling that transforms emotion into power and vulnerability into beauty, reminding us of our shared humanity beneath the surface of the world.
