Maya Wildevuur - 1993

Martje Lammigje (Maya) Wildevuur (Deventer, July 24, 1944 – Midwolda, April 11, 2023) was a Dutch textile artist and painter. Wildevuur received her education at the Academy of Art and Industry in Enschede. She initially lived in Enschede for several years before moving to the town of Delden, where her children were born. Subsequently, Maya settled in Enschede once again. In the years 1980–1985, she became particularly known for her 'silk collages,' inspired by English landscapes. The silk technique she used in her early works exuded both simplicity and complexity. This brought her considerable renown both at home and abroad. Maya Wildevuur's work is characterized by the use of strong contrasting colors and clean yet whimsical forms. In her final years, she worked in various styles and techniques. Maya Wildevuur primarily painted flowers, landscapes, and animals. Her characteristic portraits of people have a distinct style. For example, she created a portrait of Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima, as well as of Paul van Vliet and many other well-known Dutch figures. In 1984, she opened the “Maya Wildevuur” gallery in Hooghalen. Since 1992, she lived and worked at the Ennemaborgh in Midwolde, in the north of the province of Groningen, where the gallery was also relocated. She passed away on April 11, 2023, in her hometown of Midwolda at the age of 78. Source: Timmer, S. (2010) De wereld van Maya Wildevuur. D33 Publicaties.
