Painting mainly in oils this internationally acclaimed contemporary artist produces modern portraits that address issues of inclusion and identity, obsolescence and conflict. So adroit at capturing the human face and form, Maiden is able to move apace from haunting and distant to soulful and spiritual, proud and bold to reserved and guarded. His faces manage to remain both familiar and anonymous, as Maiden plays out his moment he has been privy to across the canvas.

​

Technically Maiden displays composition akin to that of the academically trained artist, and yet he is entirely self-taught, navigating his way through his chosen genre over many years, without instruction or advice.

Maidens content rigorously addresses the issues of the 21st century, his work being packed with symbolism and hidden stories that expose the immoralities and pretences of our time.
