MAYA SMIRA

Maya Smira was born and raised in

Haifa, Israel, in the mountains close

to the sea. She was always engaged

with social ideas through the usage

of photography, video, dance and

varied forms of art. After her military

service, she travelled the world,

exploring cultures and places in the

Far East, Latin America and Europe.

Later she worked as a photographer

and artist in independent art & film

productions. In 2012, Maya obtained

a BA in Arts and Humanities and a BFA

in photography in Tel-Aviv. Recently

she completed the MFA program in

the New Genres department at the

San Francisco Art Institute. Maya

exhibit in both California and Israel,

as well as, several other countries in

the world.

The majority of my inspiration

stems from my traveling around the

world and constant exploration of

new spaces. I’m a multidisciplinary

artist and I use time based media,

photography and installation, usually

in simple, abstract and formal ways.

I think in images, shapes and colors,

which I incorporate in my idea based

compositions.

My creative process is also deeply

involved in larger global and social

issues and events.

My work has multiple different sides,

each representing a different aspect of my interest. All co-exist in my mind, although they cannot always live together in the same space. Being from Israel, one facet of my work is politicly-driven, challenging issues of war, borders, and living under a constant state of emergency.
