Evgenia Berestneva

I am a self-taught figurative artist, exploring questions about human identity, authenticity and social conditioning. Through my practice i want to understand how our upbringing, relationships and experiences shape us and how we can show up in our truth through choosing being vulnerable with each other.

Much of my life journey was a quest for finding a personal freedom - freedom in thinking, opinion and self-expression. Changing working & living environments, countries and cultures, i was moving further and further away from my upbringing context in search for freedom only to find out that the only thing i wanted to be free from were my own believes, self-limits and the process of self-judgement.
