{"title":"Maya Garcia","description":"\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI am a self-taught, intuitive visual artist. I didn’t go to art school. My style is my own, and so is my technique. My art is purely instinct-based, and can best be described as essentially abstract in nature, but I don’t adhere to just one style of art anymore than I do to any one medium of artistic expression. I am an artistic magpie by nature. No form of creative expression is off-limits to me, and I have worked with visual storytelling, painting, drawing, photography, illustration, digital art, videography, product and logo design, audio art, and singing\/songwriting. I have let go of the fears of perception and judgment, and am dedicating my life’s work to experimenting with new materials, mediums and styles, following my vision to wherever it leads.  As for influences, I’m attracted to art and artists who flip my perceptions of reality, space and time. I’m a fan of the Surrealist movement, Modern Art, especially early to mid 20th century, Cubism and Fauvism, as well as folk art. I enjoy some Abstract Expressionist and even Pop Art pieces too. I’m a rebel at my core, and appreciate any attempts at irony, and upending the powers that be, whether it’s the almighty U.S. military-industrial complex, or in the fabled halls of the art establishment. So, art that challenges our perceptions of the world from a bird’s eye view particularly appeal to me. Music, travel and films influence me too. Walking outside on a rainy day or by the beach influences me.  Every time I come into contact with another living being, even if it’s just with the footprints they left on the sand of our shared consciousness, I am influenced and changed by it, because I believe that we are all connected, and carry energy within us.","products":[{"product_id":"new-beginning","title":"New Beginning","description":"22 x 28” extra large, stretched canvas.
