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 leans 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' with the goal of creating experimental works where participants are called to journey inward through their own landscapes of being, where surrender and awareness converge. BATHUS welcomes collaboration in an effort to cultivate an appreciation of art as a community practice of transformation — exploring identity, relationship, and integrity as measurements of success and survival.
