A self portrait is an intense piece of therapeutic work. Self-examination rips open ones heart and soul and lays bare wounds and fears; nowhere to hide. Eve is predominantly a figurative painter working directly from life. Her work is heavily underpinned by drawing from observation and is preoccupied with the human form and both its presence and absence in space. Influenced by her lifelong studies of yogic teachings and spiritual thought, Eve searches to crystallise on canvas the unselfconscious present state of being of the sitter; a sense of mortality clashes with vivid embodiment. Unceasingly concerned with colours and their relationships, Eve explores what happens when two colours meet, how they dance side by side and what occurs at the borderline. Understanding colour is fundamental to her creative process, each hue sings and resonates with its neighbour, creating a rhythm within the composition. Drawing inspiration from the shallow planes of modernism, Eve builds form through geometric shapes, clear facets and defined edges. This ravenous enquiry results in paintings that are exuberant and deeply expressive. Exploring the human condition, her work is delivered with potent emotion.
