Lady Walking in the Old City marks the genesis of the Surreabstract style. This early work by Masha channels her fascination with elegance, the subconscious, and timeless city architecture. A poised figure strides confidently through a cobblestone street, her hand morphing into a foot as if her identity and movement are being rewired by dream logic. Oversized lips and eyes, completed by floating beads, hint at perception of a female face, beauty, and the way a city can leave deep emotional impressions. The surreal proportions and bold fashion details reflect Masha’s passion for the urban aesthetic where every walk becomes a runway and every street a stage for internal transformation. Fittingly, this unforgettable work was stolen twice, first by a friend, then by her sister, marking it as a piece as magnetic as the story it tells.
