Eva Qing Yu
Eva’s work consists of oil, watercolor, and mixed media painting.The elements of people, animals and the environment appeal to her. Based on human behavior, her paintings are inspired by observations of people’s behavior and their psychological states which are influenced by the different environments around them. In her paintings human contact with an animal or an object appears in her work, and through these the audience is guided to another emotional reality that is within the artist:comfort, nostalgia, and humour.
Meanwhile capturing creativity and vitality is what Eva specializes in and she attempts to capture the uncertainty and anxiety prevalent in her life. Her work is expressed as a narrative painting, combining fluid striking lines and blocks of color in works that aim to capture the familiar image of everyone’s shifting mental activity, then simplifying it and playfully representing it to leave the viewer with a pleasant or melancholic desire.
The shifting inner emotions can be seen in each of her works: on the one hand the desire to maintain self-control, on the other the desire to disturb it and reveal the hidden world behind the faces depicted. Eva aims to depict a rich spiritual world, although in everyday life it seems that the spiritual remains silent around us.
