Maya Hewitt

Place of birth UK
Country of residence United Kingdom

Hewitt uses symbolic narrative to explore the notion of reality and fiction. Her paintings are presented as environments of connecting plots or pieces within a larger narrative, transforming the gallery walls into an experience reminiscent of children’s pop-up books and adventure stories. Within each piece elements drawn from everyday life are manipulated, weaved and translated into fantastical worlds of euphoric colour inviting the viewer into a wayward journey of heavily loaded escape. In her works she particularly draws on references from the contemporary Japanese Kawaii culture.

Hewitt lives and works in London and studied at the University of Brighton, Camberwell College of Art and Winchester School of Art.
