MAYCO was trained as an architect in the States and is truly fascinated by colors and shapes.

She is self taught in painting - she experienced different styles until 2009, when she found one that fit her the best:

painting on giant puzzle pieces.

​

Mayco also tried out creating a few pieces of furniture that have already caught the attention of professionals.

 

The colors and shapes she witnessed as a child are now resurfacing.

​Associating different colors, associating different puzzle pieces together with their beautiful curves and shapes, painting on them, scattering them, triggers in viewers a flashback to their childhood – what image do the pieces create when assembled ? what direction do they go ? They inconsciously makes viewers stop and wonder. 

​

Sharing these paintings creates an exchange, an invitation to meet and discuss. They are the key to a door that wants to be opened, and to experiences in a world that links people together, just like a puzzle.

​

Mayco invites us to go back to our childhood and allows us to step into our imagination, as if each piece of the puzzle represented part of a memory but all pieces together created a temporary image from our childhood.

​

It is up to each one of us to let our imagination display these past memories.

For a few moments, in front of the scattered pieces, one can call his/her inner child to mentally play with them and rearrange them as best as possible, awakening burried childhood memories.

​

Even though our inner child is sound asleep, Mayco’s work triggers the reflexes we’ve all had at some point to match and assemble the puzzle pieces together and makes us ask a question we may ask while reading a poem:

what did the artist mean?

​

Looking at one of Mayco's creation, is like opening a window to childhood.
