Maya Eventov
Maya was born in Leningrad, former Soviet Union. At a very young age she was introduced to great artistic treasures of St. Petersburg by her parents. Maya spent countless hours at her favorite Hermitage museum studying the work of great masters, especially the works of post-impressionist period and Russian avant-garde. The palette of such painters as Matisse, Gauguin and Renoir greatly affected her interpretation of color. Maya derived her sense of balance and composition from the works of Alexander Rodchenko, El Lissitzki and Kazimir Malevich.
