Vision

You'll notice Maryam’s signature style is in her brushstrokes, which have a freestyle nature and a strategic sense of motion. The interplay of rich colors, fluid brushstrokes and her organic, natural themes are a delight to the eye. She is a pioneer in the evolving style of landscaped-abstract that marries structure and chaos to create art that is comfortably familiar yet provocatively undefined. Her work communicates a true respect for the splendor of the natural world and offers an invitation to get lost in the beauty.
