Collection: Maria Wagner-Edery

Artist and sculptor Maria Aktaeva explores different forms of expression, currently dedicating herself to the ancient technique of papier-mâché. A modest yet enigmatic material that has endured for centuries, withstanding the changes of time and constantly rediscovering the gaze of artists. Its versatility allows it to be both light and solid, defying expectations and making each piece unique and lasting.

In his creations, there is a fascination with the ephemeral and the timeless, with the enchantment of the shows and the secrets kept behind the scenes. The circus emerges as one of his greatest inspirations—a universe of magic and melancholy, where the characters seem to belong to a lost time. His sculptures and objects carry the essence of the past, as if they were fragments of a story that insists on being remembered.
