About The Artwork

This work was inspired by the ancient charred fragment of a crucifix I discovered in a Munich church. The crucifix has a moving history. Still whole in 1463 it was found drifting along river Isar during highwater. A chapel was built for it and torn down later. In 1817 it hung as a landmark on the outside of an old grocery store. During a WWII nightly bombing raid on 24/25. April 1944 it was destroyed safe for the legs. A 16 year old boy found the fragment between the rubble and took it home. The boy was the later renowned author, film director and actor Philip Arp. The fragment is a gripping symbol for the injuries left by hatred and war no matter where on earth. Oil on thick beech wood - casein tempera underpainted. All working steps (incl. production of paints) carried out by the artist. Material-wise made for eternity. Strong inner light achieved through various transparent paint layers. The painting doesn`t need to be framed - it can simply be hanged on the wall by two already fixed eye hooks.

Eva Genoveva has been a full-time freelance painter since 2010. She lives and works in Munich, Bavaria. Her works are part of numerous private collections in Germany, Liechtenstein and the U.S. and have been publicly exhibited by various institutions, e.g. the Rouka Gallery, the Bavarian state bank and the Bavarian Department of the environment. Her intense studies of the technical aspects of painting resulted in a rather clocked creative process ensuring her works a strong inner light as well as an extraordinary longevity. She confines herself to using solely basic raw materials instead of ready-made products in order to remain in control of the entire origination process. Her approach is an aesthetical as well as analytical one. Overly emphasized compositional lines, queer colors, artificial illumination with strong shadows and backgrounds dissolving into stereometric forms ensure a well-arranged, idealized pictorial impact reminding of the Thirties` Precisionist movement. Focal point of her paintings is a subject that is often out of balance and rendered with the greatest possible psychological truthfulness. As regards her topics she has her eye foremost on the private, emotional, solitary and libidinal in the female experience realm, the reality behind masks, rebellion vs. submission, ubiquitous transcience and the abortive attempt to fight it.
