Maya Green

Art Brokerage: Park West artist Maya Green Ukrainian Artist: b. 1957. Green was born in 1957 in Donetsk, located in Donbass, Ukraine. She grew up surrounded by dull gray architecture, causing her to wish she could add color to the industrial city's buildings. This, in part, is why Green was drawn to art from a young age, specifically with the interaction of color and light. Green studied at the School of Art in Ukraine, and was later accepted into the Donetsk Art College, where she received a degree in art studies in 1978. In 1996, Green immigrated to Israel and settled in the city of Tiberias, located in northern Israel on the banks of the Sea of Galilee. The Galilee region is renowned for its picturesque landscapes, and often becomes the subject of Green's works. The energy of the city inspires her to paint. At first she used this inspiration to paint in a classical style, but later transitioned into a more expressive style focused on pure colors and the use of a palette knife instead of a paintbrush.
