    Maya Foltyn

    MAYA FOLTYN - f. 1953, Polen

    TORONTO


    Maya Foltyn holds a Bachelor in interior design and industrial product design and a second Bachelor in painting and drawing from the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, Poland. She later entered the drawing programme at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna, Austria. In the early 1980s, she moved to New Zealand. She now lives and works in Toronto.

    For more than twenty-five years, Maya Foltyn has explored the intuitive relationship between site, memory, and mark-making. Through processes of sensorial translation, Foltyn’s paintings, drawings, and photography delve into the imprints of lived experience. Her practice connects, translates, and re-examines affective connections between memory and aesthetics, communicating a language of impressions of being-in-the-world.

    CV

    Working predominantly in large-scale painting and drawing, the focus of Maya’s practice is colour and light. The dominant visual features of her work are plains of colour and strong, gestural line. The rich visual landscapes reflect her sources of inspiration: the cultural richness of Europe, the exotic beauty of New Zealand, her second homeland, and the majestic scale of Canada.

    Maya Foltyn’s practice blurs the line of traditional categorization in her creative and innovative use of classical methods and new technologies. Her large-scale works delve into her research on the human condition, finding new avenues of interpretation throughout a wide variety of expression. She explores the use of space, both as subject and as surrounding, in the works themselves and the conditions of their arrangement.
