Hey there, I’m Maya Galleas!

I am a watercolor artist and illustrator. My painting adventure started with art therapy and turns into a creative career. The art process brings me harmony and pleasure. I love to learn new knowledge and share more and more the magic of watercolor with people, its smooth lines, transparency of tones, the magic of color mixing, and gentle transitions. Art allows us to know ourselves and create a little happiness, fill with the energy of dreams and harmony. It gives the power of self-expression and depth of your voice.

From early childhood, I loved to engage in different creative pursuits. I sewed and designed clothes for my barbie, knitted scarves, and socks, embroidered with threads and beads, weaved macrame and even learned a little about making artificial flowers. I'm not even talking about origami. But with a love of creativity, I was educated as a production process technologist. For a while, chemistry was my favorite idea. I even made paint in the laboratory and dreamed of taking a brush in my hands to paint my painting. My path came to art.

I love painting space, its colors, and depth, but I also like to paint nature with its unique lines and special shapes. Space is not only empty or full to me. It shines with thousands of galaxies and millions of constellations, nebulae, and oceans of stars, planets, satellites, incredible colors of suns, and black hole phenomena. It is like a marshmallow or a cloud, like caramel or even a cup of coffee. This is a fresh breath of freedom and brightness, new ideas, and endless possibilities. This is a dream and a firework of feelings. This is something indescribable and inspiring.

Let's paint together. Enjoy the process and be proud of your result. Dive into the wonderful world of watercolors, the play of shadows and highlights, depth and halftones, strokes and washes. Remember, bright colors are a good mood, and painting gives us happiness and smiles. So, don't waste time, grab your supplies and watch my classes.
