Maia Angelina | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Particularly attracted by the female body, its delicacy, fragility and movement, she is inspired by Greek statues of antiquity and also by sculptors such as Alfredo Giacometti and Igor Mitoraj. She likes to think of her sculptures as fragmented, disintegrated, a bit like the remains of ancient statues that have just been unearthed. Giving a second life to cardboard in order to reduce the ecological impact of her creations is an important point for the artist. It is a real challenge to start from a so-called "poor" material, a simple cardboard box and transform it into a real work of art.
