The paintings of Maya Eventov
are so rich with color, light and detail that
they reflect not only an extraordinary draughtsmanship but
also a sense of
artistic wellbeing and happiness. In the hands of this artist,
the interiors
and stillifes become extraordinary, and the chairs and flowers,
harps and
Roman pillars that have been interpreted by generations of
artists, take on
personas that could be sophisticated and rich, whimsical and
fun, having
their own independent life within the painting.
Maya began her training as a child in art schools of Leningrad,
where she
learned painting, drawing and composition. After attending
the Leningrad
High College of Art & Design, named after V. Muhina, Maya
worked in the
field of children's book illustration, wallpaper design, took
part in the
elaboration of the murals for cinema halls and concert halls
in Leningrad,
Moscow, Erevan and Komsomolsk -na-Amure, and private residences.
She works
in watercolors and oils, using her own technique that combines
oil painting
and etching.
