Folk Art Portrait painting

I can clearly see the influence of Russian and other East European forms of religious iconography in this work. This is a very brave use of the vivid red from her hair across the composition, but then another trademark of your work is your use of hair to symbolize love, death and hope etc.

Lovely and very nice box, much more beautiful as pictured.

I also enjoy the way your figures blend and merge and blend into the backgrounds of your work. It reminds me of stained glass windows and European iconography.

And one good compositional decision after another.

I love this one. And I’m sure that I would appreciate it even more up close. I love your palette and the symbolism. Beautiful work Eva.

The congruity of human and equine form gives a sense of dancing to the same kinetic rhythm. Where do the lines of the woman and the lines of the horse divide— they are (in a sense) one —unified in the flight, yet distinct. A magical ride.
