All of Maia's work is rooted in socially relevant themes such as environmental sustainability, mental health, inclusion, and human connection.
Her artistic practice explores the transformative potential of vocal art and sound, particularly how co-creative processes across diverse backgrounds engage people in personal and collective transformation. Deeply concerned with raising climate awareness, Maia also researches how performance spaces can help audiences feel more connected to nature.
Working at the intersection of music, poetry, visual arts, and movement, Maia recently premiered her first opera -an inclusive opera- in Montevideo, becoming the first contemporary female composer to premiere an opera in Uruguay. Other current projects include "Voices of the Earth", a participatory interdisciplinary performance premiering in Tilburg in November, which brings citizens together to artistically explore their personal connection to the Earth; "Zangbuurt: Neighborhood Song Exchange", an ongoing community music program in cities like Dordrecht, Rotterdam and Amsterdam, designed to unite neighbors through songs from around the world, and other types of projects such as her own music group MAGU and concerts for vulnerable communities with her duo Pausa poética in partnership with Live Music Now.

Maia’s work has been featured in a variety of local and international festivals, consistently affirming her commitment to creating inclusive, meaningful, and socially engaged art.
