Life Studies

The human form has always been one of art's most demanding and revealing subjects. In this series, Maya moves beyond representation into dream-like feeling, using her signature palette knife technique to let the figure emerge from colour, texture, and light. These are not portraits of bodies but of presence, of stillness, of the quiet energy a person carries. Each work invites you to look slowly.
