Statement
Eve’s pictorial research stems from an introspective process that develops through the free association of images, shapes, and colors. Interiority represents the starting point of a broader investigation into the relationship between humans and nature, understood as a symbolic space of connection, transformation, and complexity.
Moving between figuration and abstraction, the artist constructs a visual language based on hybridization: organisms, landscapes, and natural structures emerge as suspended, non-descriptive forms, in which different elements coexist and interact. Nature becomes a metaphor for a fragile and ever-evolving balance, a mirror of a layered interior dimension.
Through painting, Eve explores the concept of inclusivity as an intrinsic value of existence, focusing on diversity and imperfection. Her works are configured as open spaces, in which the viewer is invited to recognize possible connections between individual experience and the collective dimension.
Eve defines her painting as introspective, inclusive, and intricate.
Spontaneity is at the heart of her practice, understood as a tool for embracing imperfection and bringing out the authenticity of the work’s symbolic and conceptual message.
Her creations are distinguished by a surreal and chaotic atmosphere, enlivened by vibrant and fluorescent colours, and, on many occasions, by a final surface that deliberately alters them, suggesting dust, flashes, or visual disturbances such as “floaters.”
The process
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.
