Focusing primarily on the figure and landscapes, Ma’ayan is an oil painter whose work bridges realism and abstraction. With impulsive applications of color and varied opacity she begins to layer her imagery. She changes her mind, redirects a stroke and moves throughout the painting like a dance. Shapes appear then disappear; images from earlier strokes remain, underscoring a newer gesture, another focus, creating a visual transparency with movement and depth. This process of working through the material to find the taproot—the true source of the subject – is what she enjoys most.
