"The lockdown has been very important for me. It has allowed me work a lot since I am locked in my studio. I was in Paris before I decided to settle down in south of France in our country house which is far away from everything. It is a new callenge for me, a new life, full of hope joy and nature and I am excited to see what will come out of it." — Maya Burman

Born in 1971 in Paris. Maya studied architecture in Paris for 3 years. Her paintings are delicate and usually have a strong fantasy element. The striking thing about her works is the amount of detail in them. Her paintings have a tapestry-like effect where everything is subordinate to patterning, reminiscent of the French art nouveau tradition and European Middle Age architecture in the country where she lives, interlaced with mythical and folk-inspired imagery somewhat akin to miniature painting, that stem from her Indian ancestry, the work makes an interesting melting pot, a meeting ground between the two cultures and tradition. Her compositions are mostly figurative and change according to her mood.

Maya has held numerous exhibitions of her work in the UK, India and France, and has won several awards including the Fine ArtAssociation of Sannois Award (1998), the Salon d’Automne Paris Award (2000), and the Watercolours Painting Section Salon de Colombes Award (2001).

She lives and works in Paris and south of France.
