Artist Comments
"This piece is like magnified images of the inner constellations of neurons, thought forms, and connections," shares artist Maya Malioutina. A minimalist modern abstract, with gold veins running throughout the surface. With layers of rich brown, the piece has a deep warm and welcoming feel. Part of Maya's Inscape series.

About the Artist
Maya’s abstract mixed-media artworks are inspired by urban imperfections–cracks in sidewalks, peeling paint, rusted metal. Influenced by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, Maya embraces the aesthetic flaws of city life, translating daily discoveries into heavily layered and textured paintings. “Some works have close to fifty layers,” she mentions. “I like to layer paint and media slowly, a little at a time.” Maya employs a neutral palette and generous applications of metallic leaf to create meditative yet sumptuous artworks, quietly enticing the viewer.
