Ep. 5 – Maria Kreyn – Enigmatic Rebel
Ep. 005 - Maria Kreyn - Enigmatic Rebel
Is an artist a product of their environment or are they simply an invention of their own complex personality traits? Nature versus Nurture, which came first, the artist or everything that artist has experienced. Probably both. Maria Kreyn is a classically academic painter with roots in Russia and the U.S., who combines esoteric allegory with a streak of the romantic philosopher/poet is a self-educator who’s background includes studies in mathematics and philosophy at the University of Chicago (2008) and painting and drawing at the Angel Studios in Toronto (2004) and the School of Representational Art in Chicago (2004-2005). Kreyn’s painting Alone Together served a vehicle for plot narrative in the ABC series The Catch (2016-2017) and brought her work into the mainstream of public awareness but she is a rebel at heart. How do you solve a problem like Maria? In her own words she is full of contradictions and yet it all makes sense. Join us in a lively discussion that delves into both the thinking behind her works and her own philosophical viewpoints, of which there are many! (This interview was recorded on December 12, 2017)
