Maïté strives to weave a harmonious tapestry between different artistic disciplines, bringing her quest to life in the relationships between sculptures, furniture, ceramics, paintings, drawings, and digital creations. Within this creative, she creates a dynamic interplay of familiar elements and textual components interwoven with abstract expressions.
The textual elements stem from a psychological compulsion and need to make markings. She calls her markings "structured chaos," a term that embodies the intentional tension between recognizable features and the liberating nature of abstraction.
The structured lines that adorn her creations have their origins in Maïté's chronic migraines. The obsessive placement and repetition of these lines give her work a calming aura. In her mind, this meticulous process of line-making becomes a form of communication or writing.
However, her approach to writing is not strictly literal. The layering of texts and lines makes them unreadable and unrecognizable, this intentional ambiguity fits perfectly with her artistic vision.
Maïté strives for her creations not to be easily interpreted. This intentional elusiveness is the essence of her artistic work.
