Masha Rudenko launched her artistic career with the Mashpit project, a photographic series where she embodies various icons such as Frida Kahlo, Salvador Dalí, Quentin Tarantino, and Woody Allen. This photographic project demonstrates her ability to adopt diverse personalities, a skill likely stemming from her previous career as a model.

In 2019, Rudenko collaborated with architect and designer Gaetano Pesce on The Seven Deadly Sins media project. The following year, she initiated several initiatives for Destination AMA and The Home in Los Angeles, aiming to support the homeless community and raise awareness about recycling and environmental issues.

From March to May 2021, her video work Unseen, created in collaboration with the Moscow Public Fund, was featured on the Moscow city platform, reaffirming her social and artistic commitment.

Rudenko is renowned for her series of works within the realm of collage. Employing her own body as the central subject in her work, she draws upon her experience as a model to manipulate and contort her form, shaping the compositions. Unlike many collage artists who apply paint to the medium before affixing it to the canvas, Rudenko opts for pre-colored paper from manufacturers. This limitation in her color palette, far from hindering her, sparks her imagination and stretches her artistic abilities. Although technically devoid of paint, Rudenko refers to her collages as 'paintings,' as the only distinction lies in the material – she paints with paper itself rather than a brush.
