Maya Silverberg

b. 1999, United States. Based in London.

Maya Silverberg is a multidisciplinary artist whose work investigates painting’s status as both fine and decorative art. Trained in traditional trompe l’oeil painting, she works between image and object.

‘I’m inspired by museum displays, vernacular architecture and bad DIY, trash, mistakes of all kind, archaic craft processes, tools and medieval altarpieces.’

Recent projects

Exhibitions include Horseshoe Theory, DOXA Budapest, Budapest, 2025 and Not a House but a Memory, Gallery Rosenfeld, London, 2025. Maya was awarded the Sarabande Foundation Slade MA Final Year Award and the Bartolomeu dos Santos Memorial Award. She holds an MA from the Slade School of Fine Art, a BA from Columbia University, and a Decorative Painting Certificate from the Van der Kelen Institute.
