Featured Artist- Maya Eventov

Maya

Maya Eventov was born in Leningrad, now known as St. Petersburg, under the former Soviet Union. At a very young age her parents introduced her to the great artistic treasures of the city. She spent countless hours at the magnificent Hermitage Museum studying the works of great masters. Maya was especially fascinated by the works of the Post-impressionists, and those of the Russian Avant-Garde. The palette of Matisse, Gauguin and Renoir affected her interpretation of color, while Rodchenko, Lissitzki and Malevich influenced her sense of balance and composition.

After excelling in art as a child Maya was accepted at the prestigious High School #109 affiliated with the St. Petersburg State Academy of Industrial and Applied Art.  She graduated in 1987 with a masters degree in graphic art and began illustrating children’s books and creating murals.

Maya immigrated to Canada in 1990 where she now resides with her husband and two children.  Her style has evolved during her life in Canada.  Maya loves the rich, bold and bright colors of the Mediterranean and often portrays scenes from her travels in her paintings.
