Violeta Maya
Violeta Maya
Violeta Maya (b. 1993, Spain) works and lives in Madrid. The painter makes lyrical compositions using pigments and acrylic on wet canvas to reflect her various emotional states. The nature of her methodology requires that she works quickly–before her canvases have a chance to dry, and stop accepting paint onto their surfaces. She therefore enters the studio with a premeditated idea of color palette and a general sense of formal structure, a plan. At times placid, whimsical, or tempestuous, Maya’s paintings offer a time capsule of whatever she experienced as she was making her work, and explore the potential for chance within a controlled set of parameters.
Maya received her BA from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in 2015. Recent solo exhibitions include Todo en constante cambio y yo aquí observándolo, Nicelle Beauchene Gallery, New York (2023); El Santo Al Cielo, Gallery BR, Tetbury, UK (2023) and A mi nadie me preguntó si quería nacer, pero bueno, aquí estoy, Alzueta Gallery, Madrid, ES (2022). She has recently been included in group exhibitions at Alzueta Gallery, Madrid, ES (2023); GÄRNA Gallery, Madrid, ES (2022); and Aprestadora Gallery, Barcelona, ES (2020).
