Max for maximalism. Created in 2018, Max is a watercolour, gouache, ink and pencil artwork created by Zyra Bañez as a form of experimentation with colour and style.

With colour trends increasingly gaining popularity, more and more colours started to appear on social media. One colour that dominated 2018 was Mustard Yellow.

In the previous years, Zyra’s artworks involved limited and muted colour palettes influenced by minimalism. However, 2018 was the year that started to move away from neutrals and embrace a bit of colour, or perhaps a lot.

As a form of experimentation, solid colour blocks, bold shapes and plant imagery became consistent in Zyra’s artworks. Max is just the first of many experimental artworks created.
