Maya Golyshkina: The self-taught artist transforming household objects into theatrical art
By
Ayla Angelos
Plain bagel done well. Pleasantly substantive.
Summary
Self-taught artist Maya Golyshkina creates theatrical, sculptural self-portraits using everyday household objects like bags, cardboard boxes, and other found materials. Born in Moscow and now based in London, she transforms ordinary items into fantastical creations through cutting, ripping, and taping. Her work is inspired by whatever she encounters in her daily surroundings, turning the mundane into magical, performative art pieces.
