THE ARTIST
With her art, Eugenia goes beyond.
Beyond sensation. Beyond affinity. Beyond nature.
"I do not simply depict nature; I begin with close observation and transform it through magnification into something new. The work remains rooted in the natural world while becoming open, ambiguous, and nearly abstract – inviting a slower, more attentive way of seeing.
There is no fixed orientation, no clear up or down. This absence of hierarchy lends the paintings a sense of freedom and quiet movement, allowing each viewer to find their own point of entry.
My process is deeply present throughout. The yellow base of each work holds a sense of light and inner warmth that continues to resonate beneath the surface, while the images develop gradually, layer by layer, through time and patience. Working freely on the canvas before stretching it allows the composition to emerge without constraint, giving the work its open, breathing quality.
A subtle sensuality runs through the enlarged forms – something delicate, bodily, almost intangible. What may first appear abstract slowly reveals intimacy, depth, and presence.
These paintings extend beyond representation, exploring how perception shifts through time, layering, and attention."
