Maya Eventov grew up in Leningard in the former Soviet Union. St. Petersberg, as it is now known, is a city fabled for its beauty and culture. At a very young age her parents introduced her to the great artistic treasures of the city. Countless hours were spent at the magnificent Hermitage Museum studying the works of great masters. The works of post-impressionists and those of the Russian Avant-Garde especially fascinated Eventov. The palette of Matisse and Gauguin affected her interpretation of color while Rodchenko and Malevich influenced her sense of balance and compostion.
Eventov took advantage of the fall of the "Iron Curtain" by traveling, exploring the lands of her dreams. In the early 1990's she immigrated to Canada. Here she found an immediate appreciation for her artwork and quickly became invloved in the local art scene. Today Evetov and her family reside outside of Toronto, Ontario.
Evetov continues to travel, finding inspiration for her works in the varied landscapes around the world. Her work is represneted in galleries throughout Canada, Great Britain and the USA.
