The Goldfinch (copy of the painting by Carel Fabritius) Painting

My creative pseudonym is Evgeniia Bova. My love for painting and successful studies at art school has determined the creative direction of my life. I found professional fulfillment in the fields of photography and graphic design. However, I fully realized all my knowledge and potential in painting, which I devoted myself to since 2015. I am active professionally, my paintings are in private collections in Russia, USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and France, as well as in the collection of the magazine "Russian Gallery XXI century" and the collection of paintings of the Nonprofit Foundation for the promotion of national culture and art. Since 2019, I participate in group exhibitions in Moscow, St. Petersburg, as well as international online exhibitions. The basis of my practice - is the most subtle transfer of the emotional state in a particular moment. When creating abstract images I use minimalistic color solutions, relying on texture. Sometimes the paintings are almost sculptural, and the complexity of their relief is inversely proportional to the complexity of the color solution. The state is conveyed by the expressiveness of the gesture, not the subject matter. When I work on a painting I use not only brushes and brushstrokes, but also my fingers. That's what allows me to convey nuances of emotions on a tactile level, making each work intimate and sensual.
