About Mai Erard

“Write about this man who, drop by drop, squeezes the slave's blood out of himself until he wakes one day to find the blood of a real human being--not a slave's--coursing through his veins.” Chekov I'm a self – taught artist. Abstract art for me is the way to explore beyond the world without words... Each day, each painting is a new adventure, a new adaptation, a new discovery that I enjoy... The only words to explain my art: “The real thing - beneath the outer surface, deep down under the skin - the inner silence of the space. It’s impossible to give true expression only by showing the visible layer.” ​Enjoy your life, enjoy the art
