lil ol’ me

Maliahguiya’s love for process-based work was influenced by her mother, who crafted cards and handmade gifts, while her determination and aesthetic sense were inspired by her father, a film producer and writer. Her childhood experiences continue to shape her creative work, as she draws on the brightness and memories of those early years to inform her artistic practice. Maliahguiya has embraced silk screen printing during her time at university. She enjoys pushing her illustrations beyond 2D interpretations, creating interactive works that evoke a sense of nostalgia. Maliahguiya is set to graduate with a Bachelor’s Degree in Art in Spring 2025, 

She currently lives with her loving boyfriend and, when not immersed in her work, enjoys spending time with her family and taking her grandparents to the beach. Her passion for art and connection to her roots continue to inspire her future goals, including opening a public studio and workspace.
