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 both 'deep' and '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 self-mastery naturally emerges. 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.
