ANGELA MARAY

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 larger existential questions, intending to interrupt the trance of 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 'profound' 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 self-mastery naturally emerge. BATHUS welcomes collaboration in an effort to reinvent art appreciation as a collective practice of inner accountability and relational wealth — exploring integrity, truthfulness, emotional maturity, and self-responsibility as measurements of cultural value.
