Evgenia Makarova

In my practice, abstraction is less a style than a state of being. I approach the canvas without a predetermined map, allowing paint to move faster than thought. This surrender of control opens a space where chance and intention blur, where fragments of order emerge only to dissolve again.
Color remains my constant. More than a medium, it becomes the protagonist — carrying emotional weight, shaping atmosphere, and directing rhythm. Working primarily with acrylic and oil, I rely on speed, layering, and the material presence of paint as catalysts for discovery.
I resist fixed forms, cultivating instead a terrain where gesture and color collide, where immediacy generates its own internal logic. In this process, color transcends pigment: it becomes structure, cadence, and narrative. Each work is both experiment and artifact — a negotiation between precision and play, accident and intent.
