Ma’ayan’s paintings live by such abstraction of plain life force; a surge we all perceive yet hardly know to express or give form. Her work hereby always remains close to the human element of a profound inner reckoning of our mortal experience, speaking of periods of mourning in “Zalman’s Suite”, or that of reconciliation with the unknown in “Night, Teacher of Faith” and “Between Worlds”.
?
Facing both confrontation and vulnerability in “Run!”, the viewer is called to leave behind the comforts of rational assessment and delve into the turbulent subconscious; tumbling, falling, unleashing our conditioning of self, even if only for a few transient moments.
A deeper sensory memory persists however, leading us beyond the disguise of the exterior into a place of plain presence, of peace.
What do you remember when you turn around? A holistic sensation of the infinitely multi-faceted human experience; paradoxically beyond our human form. The experience of love is what calls from beyond.
