Angela Maray is a multidisciplinary artist based in Alexandria, Virginia. Her focus is primarily acrylic painting, incorporating abstract, figurative, and realistic approaches. She asks viewers to embrace contradiction within themselves and gravitates toward pared-down forms as entry points to existential questions, intending to challenge static beliefs with a sense of surrender and freedom.
Maray's ongoing project, BATHUS, stems from a vision centering on the meaning of the word 'bathus' as 'deep dawn' with the goal of creating experimental works where viewers are called to journey inward, using the senses as a mirror for their own landscapes of being, where awareness and surrender converge. BATHUS welcomes collaboration in an effort to cultivate an appreciation of art as a collective practice of transformation — exploring identity, relationship, and integrity as measurements of individual success and cultural wealth.
