Maya Eventov is known for her bold and tactile palette knife technique. She works primarily in acrylics, applying thick layers of paint to the canvas using knives rather than brushes. This impasto style gives her work a richly textured, almost sculptural quality. Maya often carves into the wet paint, revealing intricate patterns beneath the surface and creating a sense of depth and movement. Her technique, combined with vibrant color choices, allows each piece to radiate warmth and energy—almost as if the paint itself is alive.

Maya Eventov's vivid and joyful artwork is a celebration of the freedom and happiness she discovered after immigrating from the former Soviet Union to North America. In her own words, she "only paint[s] happy paintings" because she wants to be transported to a place of beauty and positivity—a stark contrast to the restrictions she faced in her early years. Her colorful landscapes and florals are not just scenes; they're emotional escapes, each one a window into the ideal world she envisions.

Collectors are drawn to Maya Eventov’s work for its vibrant palette, distinctive texture, and emotional resonance. Her use of a palette knife gives each painting a sculptural quality that stands out in any collection. Beyond aesthetics, Maya’s pieces radiate positivity—making them not just beautiful to look at, but uplifting to live with.

Maya Eventov’s style is shaped by a rich tapestry of influences—from the bold colors of Matisse and Gauguin to the structured abstraction of Russian Avant-Garde artists like Malevich. Her early exposure to art in St. Petersburg gave her a strong classical foundation, which she later combined with the warm, sunlit palettes of her travels through Southern Europe. These influences come together in a style that’s uniquely hers: colorful, textured, and deeply optimistic.
