Artist statement

Eva (1976, The Netherlands) transitioned from painting to ceramics in the past five years. Her artistic focus primarily centers around crafting wall objects an sculptures, and her work is a testament to her intuitive approach, characterized by a keen sense of color and a tendency to create round forms.

The choice of round shapes is not arbitrary; it reflects her deep connection to concepts of softness, femininity, and healing. She realizes that these shapes symbolize her longing form humans to become ‘whole’ again. Referring to a society that she perceives as being overburdened.

She believes that numerous shapes and ideas are available, but you must be present to receive and bring them to life. That’s why Eva always takes the time to sit in complete silence, intuitively receiving the shapes she must manifest.
