Eva Levy

Eva Levy is a London-based artist originally from France. At the core of her practice across painting, writing, and movement is an ongoing negotiation between intuition and control. She is drawn to the fragile balance between creative flow, which she experiences as spiritual and beyond conscious command, and the human act of shaping, refining, and deciding through technique, thought, and skill.

Her work is rooted in instinctive processes such as automatic writing, improvisational movement, and rapid, intuitive painting. These approaches allow space for what she considers a form of surrender: stepping aside so that sensation, impulse, and the unknown can surface without being immediately rationalised. This openness to flow is central not only to her aesthetics but also to her mental and emotional equilibrium, offering a way to remain grounded while embracing uncertainty.

Eva Levy’s artistic education has developed outside of formal academic structures. Over several years, she attended regular evening painting classes, typically on a weekly basis, allowing her to sustain a long-term, disciplined engagement with her practice alongside other commitments.

She has also trained consistently in creative writing through weekly night classes with a French writing tutor, an experience that has played a significant role in shaping her voice, sensitivity to language, and narrative approach across disciplines.

Her practice is largely self-directed, informed by sustained experimentation, intuitive research, and lived experience rather than a formal Bachelor of Arts or academic fine art programme.
