While my paintings look precise, they reflect my human errors and thoughts. I relish slowness in the act of painting repeating\u003cbr\u003epatterns, allowing me to enter a flow state during my painting process. My methods allow me to truly know my subject matter through exploring optical illusion by distorting geometric patterns through drawing and painting. I have a long-standing obsession with Op Art, and explore my ideas via a cube motif. Each work is constructed through careful planning - drawing out and mapping scaffolding lines around which to distort the pattern; and through spontaneity - learning new geometric rules and changing elements of the formula, such as light and colour. This draws the viewer away from the monotony of the\u003cbr\u003erepeating pattern, and deliberately disrupts the harmony of the final composition. The painting reflects the analogue process to the onlooker, providing them with a viewing\u003cbr\u003eexperience that encourages them to question and decipher the methodology behind it. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maya May Jex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57195893653886,"sku":"HC992","price":1550.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/6545\/8814\/files\/IMG_3834.jpg?v=1777991743"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/6545\/8814\/collections\/Screenshot_2026-03-24_at_15.03.41_cecad126-ff23-48a2-96df-416fc0478208.png?v=1774368404","url":"https:\/\/hyphacurates.com\/collections\/maya-may-jex.oembed","provider":"Hypha Curates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
