Fortune seeker or son of hope 10 - NOW TO BE SEEN IN NYC (Viviana Puello Art Gallery) Painting

Happiness. We all look for it, you could say the quest for happiness is part of the human condition. Large groups of people all over the world are moving, often fleeing, to improve their condition, to pursue happiness. Eva lifts people out of their group and portrays their individuality. Using sponge and oil, Eva paints the portraits of these people, with all their emotions, on large canvases. The portraits have an immediate impact on the viewer while at the same time the universal emotions transcend the specific situation. Using a sponge rather than a brush gives the paintings a translucent touch. While sometimes resembling a photo when viewed from afar, from nearby the paintings have a more impressionist character, showing the sponge strokes and the canvas through the thin layers of flexibly applied paint. Thus, in her own way Eva works in the tradition of the Dutch portrait painters. In the studies, Eva applies bistre, a type of ink, with the sponge on glossy photographic paper. The sponge technique works wonderfully on this medium, creating an impromptu liveliness.
