Maya Eventov was born in 1964 in Leningrad, USSR. Her work represents modern Russian avant-gardism. She graduated from art school in 1981 at the High College of Art and Design in Mukhina. She studied in the workshops of famous Leningrad masters: Professor P. Litvinsky, V. Shuvalov and Y. Kazakov. She has also applied her talents to the fields of book illustration and interior design, and as well, a series of wallpapers were produced in Leningrad, Moscow and Erevan based on her sketches. She also took part in the redesign of various sites such as café interiors, cinema halls, and concert halls. The majority of her works are paintings executed in water colors and tempera with mixed techniques. Her works are remarkable for their rich range of colors, vivid individuality and expression. Maya's works can be found in private collections in Russia, Europe, Canada and the U.S.A.
The paintings of Maya Eventov are so rich with color, light and detail that they reflect not only an extraordinary craftsmanship but also a sense of artistic well being and happiness. In the hands of this artist, interiors and still life become extraordinary. The chairs, flowers, harps and Roman pillars take on personas that are sophisticated and rich while also whimsical and fun. Each element has its own independent existence within a unified painting. Maya began her training as a child in the art schools of Leningrad, where she learned painting, drawing and composition. After attending the Leningrad High College of Art and Design named after V. Muhina, Maya worked professionally as a children's book illustrator and wallpaper designer. She also took part in the creation of the murals for cinema and concert halls in Leningrad, Moscow, Erevan and Komsomolsk-na-Amure as well as many private residences in Toronto and Dundas, Ontario. She primarily works in water colors and oil paint and has developed a unique technique combining oil paint with etching. Maya's water colors were published in Valencia, Spain and were introduced as prints for the first time in Europe at Birmingham Art Show '98, in Great Britain.
Maya Eventov grew up in Leningrad in the former Soviet Union.St. Petersburg, as it is now known, is a city fabled for its beauty and culture. At a very young age, her parents introduced her to the great artistic treasures of the city. Countless hours were spent at the magnificent Hermitage Museum studying the works of great masters. The works of the post-impressionists and those of the Russian Avant-Garde especially fascinated Eventov. The palette of Matisse and Gauguin affected her interpretation of the color while Rodchenko and Malevich influenced her sense of balance and composition.
