MAYA STEFANIA WIBLING
Maya Stefania Wibling is a Danish artist who lives and works in Aarhus, Denmark. She primarily works in painting. She works in both abstract and figurative motives. In recent years she has increasingly focused on figuration.
Wibling’s more recent works revolve around empowering women and the female figure. In her work, she emphasizes and investigates the female connection to history, mythology, tales, and nature. The women in Wibling’s works gaze back at us, manifesting themselves as autonomous beings. Animals, fruits, textiles, and flowers are also often a part of Wibling’s works, as well as different symbols; perhaps underlining the mythological references in the works. These references are based upon Wibling’s personal interest in history; who wrote and writes it, and in the apparent and deliberate absence of the female in big history, including art history.
Wibling holds a BA in Classical Archeology from Aarhus Universitet, went to California Academy of Painters, and graduated from Aarhus Art Academy. She has had both solo and group exhibitions.
