Lucía Maya is a multidisciplinary Mexican artist born in 1953 on Santa Catalina Island, California. She moved with her family to Jalisco, Mexico in 1957 and has been based in Guadalajara ever since. She studied at the University of Guadalajara and later at the Academia de Bellas Artes San Fernando in Madrid, Spain.
Her artistic practice spans painting, sculpture, lithography, theatrical design, writing, and cultural management. Maya's style is distinguished by its masterful blending of Surrealist techniques with elements rooted in Mexican folklore and symbolism, employing a distinctive approach that prioritizes textural layering.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, including the Ronna and Eric Hoffman Gallery of Contemporary Art in Portland, Oregon, the Puerto Rico Museum of Contemporary Art, and the National Museum of Tequila.
