Maya Burman (born 1971) is a French artist.

Maya was born in Lot et Garrone, France and brought up in France. She initially trained as an architect but turned her hand to painting. She works mainly in pen and ink, and watercolor. This spontaneous media encourages her to create series of works.

Maya’s paintings are delicate and usually have a strong fantasy element. The striking thing about her works is the amount of detail in them. Her paintings have a tapestry-like effect where everything is subordinate to patterning, reminiscent of the French art nouveau tradition and European Middle Age architecture in the country where she lives, interlaced with mythical and folk-inspired imagery somewhat akin to miniature painting, that stem from her Indian ancestry, the work makes an interesting melting pot, a meeting ground between the two cultures and tradition. Her compositions are mostly figurative and change according to her mood.

Maya has held numerous exhibitions of her work in the UK, India and France, and has won several awards including the Fine Art Association of Sannois Award (1998), the Salon d’Automne Paris Award (2000), and the Watercolours Painting Section Salon de Colombes Award (2001).

She lives and works in Paris.
