Maya Matra Drawing

Channel of Healing, Architect of Inner Worlds I was born in 1988, a wild-hearted child who always colored outside the lines. I’d press my crayons so hard they’d snap in half, and I’d keep going drawn to the raw edge, the imperfection, the unknown. Even then, I knew that what was expected felt too ordinary, too neat for my spirit. Some drawings I’d leave unfinished on purpose. They already felt whole in their incompleteness. My life moved across landscapes, born in the Dominican Republic, raised between Brooklyn, Puerto Rico, and back again. Like the places I lived, I learned to carry many versions of myself. But somewhere along the way, I stopped drawing. Life happened. Pain happened. And I forgot for a while who I was meant to be. Until the ache became too loud to ignore. In the quiet of despair, I returned to the things that once made me feel alive: movement, music, curiosity and art. I bought mixed paper, collected mediums like sacred tools, and began to create. What started as self-healing turned into something bigger, something alive. Each drawing, a symphony of emotion. Each line, a transmission. There were tears. There was remembering. I began to feel these drawings weren’t just mine, they were beings from another dimension, coming through to assist humanity. Carriers of frequency. Mirrors of the soul. I started receiving messages from them, living with them, learning from them. They reminded me: I am not just an artist. I am a vessel. As a certified Reiki healer, self-taught scientist, and mystic researcher of the occult, I blend what I’ve studied with what I feel. My work is infused with ancient knowing and modern memory. I draw from the endocrine system, sacred geometry, the nervous system, reproductive energy, symbols, color theory, and cosmic awareness. Through this integration, I channel the intelligence of the macrocosmos and bring it into form. My mission is to awaken, heal, transmute, and restore vital force, not just to people, but to spaces, objects, and consciousness itself. My art began as a prayer for my own healing, but now it’s a love offering for the world. I create to remind you of who you truly are: a sentient being having a human experience. A creator. A microcosm of divine intelligence. May my work meet you where you are. May it touch something true inside of you. May it activate the healing you are ready to receive. Everything I create is a dedication: To Infinite Source. To my daughter Ashley. To my father, Api.
