Maya Malioutina
The Light From Within: Furcula Major, Abstract Painting

2018

About the Item

Artist Comments
This body of work, "The Light Within," is inspired by Leonard Cohen's ;Anthem; - ;Ring the bells that still can ring, Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything, That's how the light gets in.; What are we to do but embrace our imperfections and let our inner light shine through, guiding our path. The artwork is painted with acrylic, charcoal, and cold wax. It is embellished with gold and silver leaf, and has a rusted surface underneath.


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.

  • Blue Red Yellow Landscape Abstraction, Abstract Painting
    By Patrick O'Boyle
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Artist Patrick O'Boyle demonstrates an abstract landscape with distinct formations. He uses acrylic glaze and washes to establish color, shape, and pattern placement. Pages of old dictionaries and collage papers add points of interest to the composition. "This painting is purely an abstracted reference to places I have sketched on location," says Patrick.


    About the Artist
    Patrick O'Boyle primarily paints in a studio, rarely using reference material other than his own thoughts and dreams. He always paints in a series of five - at the end of the fifth painting he revisits and reworks all of them until he feels they're complete. Using extra-long handles on his brushes, Patrick paints at a distance from the canvas so he can see the works evolve as a whole from the one color he starts with to the vibrant array at the end.
