Biography

Art by Maya Green.

Born and educated in Ukraine,now living in Israel. Studied at the College of Art in Ukraine.

I am a full time artist and have exhibited my work in art shows, galleries, personal open art exhibits, and various art internet sites. My work has traveled internationally and can be found in private collections,galleries,commercial buildings, hotels, in countries including United States,Israel, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, Canada, France,Japan and a number of other countries.
I have drawn and painted on all kinds of medium - oil, acrylic, paper. In the last years I have been experimenting a lot with black and white compositions.
To me, art is a state of mind.All my works express a different concept made up with a strong sense of spirituality and sensibility.

In my work I seek to complement the moments I encounter. I attempt breaking down life to its visual essentials – light, dark, balance, movement, tone. In so doing perhaps I can reveal a new perspective. I enjoy capturing the essence of a moment.
I consider a painting complete when the idea I am trying to express matches the thoughts in my mind. Often this process leaves me naked and feeling exceptionally vulnerable.If somebody, while looking at my artwork gets that special feeling of something personal, I'm satisfied.
