Maya Sokovic (b. Belgrade, Serbia) is an artist living and working in San Antonio, Texas. She investigates how the memory of people’s interaction with nature and their proximal environment impacts them. Memories evaporate, but linger as a smell, color, shape, or texture. These sensations leave an impression on the body which influences it energetically and physically. Through painting, design and installation, she recreates moments in an attempt to connect with an audience through sensations otherwise forgotten. Her ultimate goal is to show the natural balance that occurs throughout the human experience despite its imperfections.
