Maya Gold studied both at the Slade School of Fine Art, London and the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design. Shortly after graduating she was the recipient of the 2007, Young Israeli Art, Legacy Heritage Fund Prize. Maya's work is concerned with painterly conundrums - she explores the line between abstraction and painterly narrative and investigates ways in which the paint surface can capture voids. Her paintings offer the viewer a bird's eye view of the reduced exacting figures that inhabit the landscape below. Limitless grey voids serve both as sky, air and ground which engulf the minute detailed figures.
