My name is Markéta (but everyone calls me Maya) and I’m originally from the Czech Republic. Currently, I live in the UK. 🇨🇿🇬🇧
I have always loved art and creating. My mom told me I learned how to hold a pencil before I learned how to walk.
I’ve been painting landscapes with oil and acrylic colours my whole life, and I love it. But in 2023, I discovered gouache colours, and it was like a breath of fresh air. I absolutely fell in love with this medium, and it rekindled my love for painting. Thanks to gouache, my little girl ghost was created. 👻 This was perfect for me because now I can switch between painting nature and creating stories for my little ghost, thinking about where to paint her next. It’s a nice change that keeps me inspired.
I’m also a wandering soul, always exploring different techniques, styles, and themes.
One thing I’m certain of is that I have always felt drawn to mystical, magical, witchy, cozy, autumn, Halloween, whimsical, spooky, and nature-inspired themes. So, my art will always dance around these topics.
I hope you enjoy my work. Thank you for visiting, stranger! 🖤
