Eva Nascimento
A Creaturely Testimony
Eva Nascimento's work seems to challenge the viewer to look beyond the surface, to seek a deeper meaning. It is not an art that reveals itself immediately;
it requires active engagement. It invites us to question the nature of painting, the role of the painted surface, the relationship between the artist
and their audience. Emerging from this silent dialogue between the work and the observer is a reflection on our own condition as "Creatures."
Nascimento's art, with its materiality and vibrant energy, reminds us of our connection to nature, to the world around us.
The warm colors and organic shapes evoke the earth, the sun, life itself. But at the same time, the decisive brushstroke and structured composition
testify to the presence of humankind, their ability to shape matter and give form to their feelings.
In this tension between nature and artifice, between instinct and reason, the "creatureliness" of humankind is revealed, their belonging to the world
and their ability to transcend it through art. Nascimento's work, ultimately, is an invitation to contemplate the beauty and fragility of our existence,
our responsibility towards creation, and our ability to give meaning to the world through creativity.
