Maya Gold lives and works in Tel Aviv and Brussels. Gold is a graduate of the MFA program at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem, where she also holds a teaching position. Gold is an acclaimed artist in the contemporary art scene in Israel and has shown several solo exhibitions, in Israel and abroad, including at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.  
Gold's paintings possess a strong regard for realism, yet they also raise questions about painting itself and its history, from modernist abstraction in painting to the Romantic Tradition.
