Studio study — hand-coiled stoneware & raw earth mineral preparation, 2026.
Mayajay is a multidisciplinary visual artist working across hand-built ceramic vessels, carved stone, and mineral pigment reliefs on raw linen. Grounded in slow material inquiry, her studio practice strips away decorative excess so weight, edge, shadow, and raw geological texture remain primary.
Each body of work is developed as a spatial conversation—balancing intimate, pale-slipped studies against monumental earth-toned reliefs designed to anchor architectural rooms.
