About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Maya Malioutina layers acrylic paint, charcoal, and gold leaf to create a luminous, textured landscape that evokes the threshold between life and death, matter and spirit. Soft grays and indigos dissolve into radiant gold, suggesting horizons, echoes, and silence. A meditation on impermanence, the work invites the viewer to pause in the mystery of transition and transformation.


About the Artist
Artist Maya Malioutina creates mixed-media abstract art inspired by urban imperfections—cracks in sidewalks, peeling paint, rusted metal. "Their imperfections hold a special significance, enhanced by the passage of time," says Maya. Influenced by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, she embraces the beauty of flawed surfaces, translating her close-up discoveries into heavily layered, textured paintings that feel both meditative and sumptuous. Her works often require ten to forty layers of materials such as metals in acrylic solution, oxidizing agents, plaster, wax, and acrylics, with light seeming to emerge from within. Maya never expected to become an artist—she once studied medicine—but a transformative experience shifted her path and clarified her calling to create. Today, her studio is a chaotic yet organized space filled with music, photographs, and found objects that spark inspiration. When she’s not at work in the studio, she enjoys the company of her five pets, who provide warmth and companionship alongside her creative practice.
