“I don’t plan out my paintings beforehand, I like to build up and construct a space and follow a narrative that evolves as I paint, as a way of finding my path within the works. I want to create a feeling of worlds within worlds in my paintings, where you can believe that you have the power inside of yourself to escape there", Hewitt explained.
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.
