the artroom
A stylized interior unfolds around an open window, where a blue seated figure holds a brush beside an easel and a small painted landscape. Ink line work defines the shutters, lamp, and potted flower with graphic clarity, while the collage construction on aluminium introduces crisp contrasts between drawn space and assembled forms. The result is quiet, imaginative, and slightly surreal.

Tom Barnea
Tom Barnea (sometimes operating under the artistic handle MAYAMOTEK) is a contemporary digital artist specializing in vibrant, hypnotic photopaintings that translate a heightened personal perception of color and light. Bypassing traditional digital aesthetics, computers, and generative AI, Tom executes her entire creative process exclusively on a smartphone. She treats her photographs as physical and raw materials, layering and filtering them dozens of times to pull a hidden spectrum of luminous neon coloring. The resulting landscapes distort reality, manifesting how she uniquely encounters it.
