About EVE Art Project

Statement

"Observation, memory and imagination are my reference points. Then I play with negative emotions and nature, intertwining everything, and with a touch of fluorescent colours."

My work focuses on unease and restlessness, viewing them as sources of strength and self-awareness. Embracing, exploring, and accepting negative emotions is a journey of self-discovery and deep feeling that challenges various internal and social dynamics.

Oscillating between the figurative and the abstract, these themes find expression in vividly colored surreal portraits and landscapes, often featuring a symbolic, invasive, brazen, and contaminating nature. My work explores the human connection to "all that exists", a realm that is manifold and diverse, independent of human intervention, definitions, or standards, and stands in contrast to concepts of artificiality and anthropocentrism.

From this exploration emerges a visual language based on hybridisation and intertwining.

Spontaneity is at the heart of my practice, understood as a tool for embracing imperfection and bringing out the authenticity of the work's message.

The process

Each process is unique as it is guided, each time, by different emotions.

I choose to paint in abstract mode when I am driven by an emotion, a sense of urgency, and a fierce desire for freedom, which leads me to the chaos that welcomes and listens to me for who I am.

When figurative art beckons, I don't always think and plan what I aim to portray. Instead, I begin to draw or paint, allowing the images to reveal themselves on the canvas as I explore how to continue and how to compose the scene.

Only at the end do I seek to interpret the meaning of what has emerged. I find pleasure in this, despite it seeming contradictory and despite the frustration of explaining images that spring from the mind and seem to lack apparent meaning. In the quest to decipher the painting's message, I embark on a journey of self-discovery, revealing my inner world.
