I am a professional artist based in East Sussex who creates large semi abstract landscape, seascape and wildlife paintings in oil on canvas. My painting style is very distinct and fuses art-nouveau, impressionist and semi-abstract techniques with traditional portraiture that reflect my love of nature, animals, birds and the flora and fauna of the landscapes around me.

In my art, I posit childhood icons like Mickey Mouse, Oly and Bart Simpson (the eternally ten-year-old child from the TV animation series The Simpsons) in mostly dark, new and surprising background that produces a dark, provocative statement.

Inna merges realism with surrealism in an engaging art world. Her watercolor work, selected for its fluid and playful nature, showcases a balance between precision and freedom. This interaction between artist and color creates a distinct visual style.

I was born in Argentina and have lived in Israel since 1979. I am married +2. Painting has been my great passion since I was a little girl. My academic studies are in Chemistry, and I worked for the high-tech industry in 27 years. In 2015, I decided to leave my work to fully concentrate on my painting career. I developed my painting skills by attending drawing classes, realistic oil painting workshops, and many hours of self-study, especially the abstract style. I paint Abstract, Abstractive Landscapes, and Figurative styles.

Maya possesses explosive creativity, which is particularly expressed in a style that connects her work to a broad audience.

 My mother - Klaudia Osheva, a professional artist, so from my early years I got grips of what "a magic of creativity" means.
My father- Professor, Doctor of Biological Sciences, Ornithologist - hence my passion for birds and Nature as a whole.
Childhood and teen ages - ballet studio, piano classes, art studio; expeditions into wilderness and mountains with my father and to plein-air with mother.
