If I Could Painting

Evelina started drawing at a very early age. At the age of 8, she was spotted by the national children’s art school “Zografche.” Over the next five years, she created many pieces of work in acrylic, water colour and lino print that were exhibited around the world. Her art won many national and international awards in competitive exhibitions worldwide. Evelina’s original drawings and paintings are also part of the National Art Gallery in her native country. The strong fundamentals of this training over the years have seeded a development of her own style. She moved to the UK in 1992 and completed training in art and graphic design. Evelina further studied fashion photography and stage design. She began creating a series of abstract paintings where her own style is well pronounced and recognised. Evelina’s pieces reveal specific themes. Beginning with carefully crafted design, a challenging and quantum-inspired ability escapes in her painting, defying traditional explanation and putting imagination at the forefront of viewing each work. Evelina Cole lives and works in Wilmington, NC. Her artworks are part of in private collections worldwide including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Portugal, Singapore and South Africa. Artist Statement: Painting and drawing were the most natural way of expressing my emotions from an early age. I feel driven to capture moments, an emotion or a feeling, and to transfer those to the canvass with a vibrant and creative message. I believe you can find beauty at any time while contextualizing the moment driven by the positive elements that lead us to satisfaction, success and an embrace of freedom.
