Standing Tall

Size:35 x 65 in.

Maya Eventov’s original painting Standing Tall (30" x 60") is a breathtaking celebration of nature’s strength and beauty. Looking skyward through a grove of slender birch trees, the viewer is drawn into a forest canopy bursting with life and colour. The perspective is immersive, almost cathedral-like, with the trees soaring vertically towards a sunlit crown of golden leaves. Dappled light filters through the foliage, creating a mosaic of blues, greens, and purples that dance across the canvas, reminiscent of stained glass glowing in sunlight.

Each tree trunk is richly textured with Eventov’s distinctive palette knife technique. Layers of thick paint are applied and etched into, revealing intricate bark patterns and lending a tactile, almost sculptural quality to the surface. Her colours, while bold and expressive, remain rooted in nature, harmonising to evoke both the vitality and serenity of the woodland.

Maya Eventov’s work bridges abstraction and realism with a masterful touch. Now based in Canada, she brings a global sensibility to her art, shaped by her background in design and an enduring fascination with light. Her paintings offer a moment of stillness and reflection—inviting us to stand tall and breathe deeply with the trees.
