MAJA BOSEN

Artist Statement
I am interested in the interconnectivity of all living things, the cycles of life and death, stories, which rise, fall, evolve, ultimately dissipate and that which is left behind. Inspired by the intricate complexity of life, our relationships with each other and nature, the plants that grow in my garden, discoveries on river walks, the mysterious and luminous creatures deep within our seas - all of this influences my drawings, paintings and sculptures.
Biography
Maja Bosen, artist, dreamer, wandering observer and poet whose present encaustic work weaves wax, pigment and various materials – both manmade and of nature – into potential moments of reflection and a shared intimacy with nature and time’s passage.
As well as having received her BFA from the Art Institute of Chicago, Maja has pursued studies at Parson’s School of Design, the New School for Social Research in NYC and the San Francisco Art Institute. She has explored many artistic channels in an attempt to find one that most clearly resonates with the message at hand.
Maja has exhibited and performed in Chicago, San Francisco and New York in both solo and with group exhibitions at various times throughout her creative career. At this time, she is proud to call the Zhou B Arts Center in Chicago’s Bridgeport neighborhood, home.
