Mr. Maya’s paintings have been on display in Paris, Madrid and Mexico City. In Madrid Mr. Mayo was presented a silver medal and diploma for his work. Mr. Maya, 38, is the son of a sarape weaver. He was born in San Miguel Topilejo, Near Mexico City. He began painting at five, and when he was in grammar school, he illustrated lessons on the blackboard for both students and teachers. Some of the paintings to be on exhibition were completed by Mr. Maya recently in a temporary studio in Juarez. His paintings are of rural Mexico landscapes and character studies.

"Thus arose three new Open Air Schools, directed by former students of Alfredo Ramos Martinez from the Coyoacan school; in Tlalpan, Francisco Diaz de Leon; in Xochimilco, Rafael Vera de Cordova, and in Villa de Guadalupe, Fermin Revueltas. It was precisely in Xochimilco that students like Reynaldo Maya emerged. Maya’s talent was recognized from a very early age and as an adult he was a teacher at the Taxco Outdoor School where he had the largest of his Production. The art he produced was mainly collected by American visitors in Taxco, so it is more common to find his work in the United States. His style captures the light without a doubt with an impressionistic touch.
