Moloriki is a union of two talented artists from the USA and Russia, Victor and Maria Payes. A mix of modern American art and traditional Russian culture makes their artworks unique and outstanding. They have more than 15-years combined experience in art and are constantly seeking to master their skills. Victor and Maria gained their experience working in several parks including Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Universal Studios Hollywood, Citywalk Orlando, Magic Mountain and the Los Angeles Zoo.

Victor Payes (aka Molorik) is a Los Angeles grown self-taught artist of a Central American descent. From early years he was interested in drawing cartoons and caricatures as well as figures and portraits. Since his family was poor, instead of getting an art degree he took various art classes taught by famous figure artists in Los Angeles and learned from fellow artists who were more experienced than him.
After spending more than 20 years drawing caricatures and portraits in theme parks all over the USA and having client commissions in the USA, Europe, Asia and Australia, he also started making original fine artwork based on his concepts and interests. His excellent unique technique and style in depicting people and fantasy subjects is now being enjoyed by art lovers all over the world.
Victor's artwork was exhibited in Los Angeles, California in various galleries and won awards for its excellence and originality. The artist currently resides in Orlando, Florida.

Maria Payes (aka Molorichka) is a Russian artist who lives in the USA since 2007. She became an artist thanks to her husband and artist, Victor Payes who taught her the basics or drawing and painting. In 2014 she got an art and art history degrees from Los Angeles Valley College majoring in acrylic painting and figure drawing. Maria now pursues the idea of living happily working full-time as an artist who creates original artwork for people all over the world! Her paintings and drawings are in private collections in the USA, Canada, Australia and Europe.
Maria's artwork was exhibited in Los Angeles, California in various galleries and won awards for its technical excellence and concept throughout several years when she was living there. The artist currently resides in Orlando, Florida.
