about maia sylba

 After more than a decade of extensive experience in the art world—working with galleries, art institutions, and academies of art across the USA, Canada, the UK, and France—Maia Sylba founded Musetouch Visual Arts Magazine in 2010. Her journey also included a significant collaboration with the renowned TV channel ARTE, where she deepened her understanding of the intersection between art and media.

Inspired by her exposure to a wide variety of practices and perspectives in contemporary art, Maia launched Musetouch Visual Arts Magazine with a clear and profound mission: to emphasize the critical role that art and culture play in our social and political lives. Musetouch was conceived as more than just a magazine; it is a dynamic platform that showcases the work of remarkable artists from across the globe.

‘Readers often believe that there are a hundreds of people behind all the work done, which is usually the case with comparable magazines. But as far as Musetouch is concerned, the team consists of my brother Dejan, who is in charge of all the technical aspects, and myself who take care of the content, who identifies the artists, and contacts them, ensures the interviews with them, produces the cover and slogans etc. People recognize what is truly imaginative and for me that is the recipe for success. Our readers also feel it when the creator is deeply involved in his project, in this case, an artistic webzine. They feel that I love art, that I have a real passion for art, that I communicate to them in a personal way, whether it is my impressions of the artists whose work we publish or of their works. They can see and feel that I am absolutely convinced about everything I post and share with them and that is why they follow me. Musetouch is me and I am Musetouch. It’s that simple.’

‘In an ever-changing and competitive digital world, Musetouch Visual Arts Magazine has succeeded in setting itself apart as a digimagazine, both in terms of its presentation and the quality and excellence of its content, which often runs to more than seven hundred pages without advertising.

The challenge that Maia Sylba, owner and publisher of Musetouch, has masterfully met over the past thirteen years is to offer a varied, original and unique content to a public that loves the visual arts, at the demanding rhythm of four issues a year.

As a visual artist, I had the great honour of seeing Maia Sylba act as digital curator for the publication of the Rebirth issue in autumn 2023. I was able to witness her high level of professionalism, combined with an immeasurable love of beauty and a generous passion for her work as an editor. This synergy and complicity has given rise to a fruitful collaboration with a promising future.

Knowing how committed she is to each project, I highly recommend Maia Sylba to other artists looking for a privileged and aesthetically pleasing showcase.’
