Maya Hayuk is an American muralist and painter whose vibrant geometric abstractions have transformed public spaces and gallery walls globally. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, and currently based in Brooklyn, New York, Hayuk draws deeply from her Ukrainian heritage, incorporating traditional folk art patterns and craft traditions into her monumental works. She first began focusing on art seriously during her youth, eventually pursuing a formal education at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts. Her academic journey also included significant periods of study at the University of Toronto, the Ontario College of Art and Design, and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. These diverse educational experiences helped refine her unique visual language which often features interlocking diamonds, psychedelic symmetries, and intricate woven textures.

One of the most significant accomplishments of Maya Hayuk is her ability to bridge the gap between street culture and high art institutions. She gained international recognition for her massive outdoor murals that utilize dripping paint and neon palettes to create immersive environments. One of her most famous pieces of art is titled The Chem Trails Party Mix, a towering mural that once graced the iconic Bowery Wall in New York City. This specific installation solidified her reputation as a master of large scale color theory and pattern making. Another celebrated work is Sunshine, which demonstrates her mastery of light and radial symmetry. Her portfolio is highly sought after by those in the limited edition art print and poster collector community due to her meticulous screen printing techniques and the rhythmic energy present in every composition.

Throughout her career, Hayuk has participated in numerous prestigious gallery shows and museum exhibitions that validate her standing in the global art market. She was featured in the seminal exhibition Ponte City at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia. Her work has also been highlighted in solo presentations such as Heavy Lights at the Bonnefanten Museum in the Netherlands, where she transformed the museum space into a cathedral of color. Collectors of fine art posters often look to these museum milestones as proof of the lasting value of her aesthetic. Maya Hayuk continues to influence the visual landscape through her dedication to social activism and the communal power of public art.

The technical precision found in her studio practice translates seamlessly into her limited edition releases, making her a staple for enthusiasts who appreciate the intersection of architecture and abstract expressionism. Beyond her solo endeavors, she has collaborated with various cultural institutions to bring her vision to a wider audience. A notable example includes her participation in the City Lights project organized by the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. This exhibition showcased her ability to manipulate space through color and geometry, proving that her work functions as both a decorative marvel and a profound exploration of human perception. For the dedicated print collector, owning a piece by Hayuk means owning a fragment of a larger conversation about optimism, heritage, and the mathematical beauty of the natural world.
