Maya Hewitt's paintings aim to construct spaces that evoke a sense of familiarity, where nature reigns supreme and surrounds everything in sight. Within her artworks, one can sense a deep connection to the natural world, as she meticulously captures the essence of wooded landscapes and allows nature to dominate the canvas. Hewitt's creations invite viewers to immerse themselves in the serene beauty of the environment and contemplate their own place within it.
Maya Hewitt is an English painter whose work has a subtle Asian influence, inspired by Japanese culture as well as by her half-Filipino heritage. 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.
