Evgeniya Maltseva

Evgeniya Maltseva works in the style of expressionistic realism in metamodern conception. Expressionism is one of the directions of the twentieth century, not only defining for its evolution but related to the reformation of views on sacred and spiritual issues in art. Eva shows a slice of the state of mind of a modern person through visual images. She is a powerful draftsman who has enormous academic skills but does not stop there, she goes further into the content and development of the form. Evgeniya works with the human soul and embodies her search, discoveries, internal psychological and energetic essence through the image of the body. She describes the condition, living life through the flesh. Evgeniya uses in various techniques: painting, sculpture, graphics, and she also invented her own technique of wood, fire, woodworking with chisels and axes. “I am an artist who works with a “problem” as a major theme. Through art, I want to repair the broken details of life. Now I am focusing not on criticism of society, but on sympathy. In my art, I want to talk about really important things happening in this world“.
