Maya Burman
France
Maya Burman was born (1971) in Lot-et-Garonne in France. Burman was initially trained as an architect, but found the profession too restrictive and turned her hand to painting. Burman’s art always depict her own universe––an amalgamation of the little and big things that constantly came back to her paintings. There’s love, laughter, music and nature in her works. She says, “When people ask me what I am painting, I say it’s maybe a place I wish to be, a universe I dream to be in. Now I’m living in that place.” Burman’s watercolors and ink paintings evoke a sense of exuberance. Her buoyant, delicate, and detailed figures which are present in the abundance of nature are accented by a bright palette that enhances the festive air and celebratory nature of her work. She creates a dream world brimming with characters that are metaphorical and have an imaginative presence. The precise detail, tapestry-like flow and poetic quality characterizes Burman’s art as a meeting ground for her French and Indian roots. The sense of merriment and playful-ness in Maya’s artworks gives us hope and is a reminder of the happier times. Burman lives and works in France.
