Maylee Christie is a British artist whose monumental sculptures and oil paintings capture fleeting beauty and profound questions about existence. Working from southern England, Christie explores hidden emotional landscapes - micro-emotions frozen in time, vulnerability we rarely show, our shared struggle with mortality.
Her work —acquired by collectors and museums—reveals the extraordinary within the ordinary: a glance that holds eternity, a gesture that speaks volumes, the curve of an orchid that becomes meditation on femininity. Oil paintings rich with Post-Impressionist color create volumes so tangible they breathe with life. Large-scale sculptures, including her celebrated 5-meter orchid at the Cafesjian Centre for the Arts, transform natural forms into explorations of what it means to exist, feel, question.
Christie's art confronts life's fundamental questions with tenderness and courage, inviting viewers into quiet dialogue about beauty, loneliness, joy, and our existential journey - capturing not just what we see, but what we feel in the spaces between heartbeats.
