surface mining Painting

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.
