Maya Hewitt's work has a subtle Asian influence, inspired by Japanese culture, as well as by her half-Filipino heritage.
Maya Hewitt was born in London, UK and currently works and lives in London and Tokyo. A talented figurative painter, Hewitt’s exotic narrative landscapes form an artificial space, constructed and staged in a state of suspension.
They travel between the real and the fictional, between human and supernatural energies, and between artifice and nature. Her paintings are presented as environments of connecting plots or pieces within a larger narrative, and use symbols to explore the notion of reality and fiction. Personal symbolic objects draw references from across time, cultures and myths.
