Between Heaven and Earth | Blue Abstract Landscape in Macramé, 2026

Evgenia Rod  

Evgenia Rod is a contemporary artist. Trained in decorative and applied arts at the M. I. Isakovsky Institute of Arts, she has worked across painting, illustration, icon painting, textile, and design. In 2026, her work was presented in exhibitions in Russia, Belarus, and China, including Haikou CICPE 2026, Collegium in Orsha, Ars.VISIO Autumn Blues in Moscow, and The Element of Painting and Form in St. Petersburg. She joined the Union of Russian Artists in 2026.

Evgenia Rod combines painting, texture, embroidery, and collage to explore choice, self-regulation, contemplation, and the relationship between inner states and the external world. Her practice draws on Russian cultural traditions, symbolic systems, meditation, and other bodies of knowledge, translating them into a personal contemporary language rather than illustrating them literally.

Her compositions operate between intellectual and sensory perception. Symbols invite interpretation, while restricted color, rhythm, and tactile surfaces address the body and emotions. Orange and blue recur as a central contrast, marking shifts between calm and joy, reflection and action, tension and balance.

In series such as Choice and Meditation, Rod treats art as a space for conscious attention. Abstract forms and material surfaces become tools for navigating anxiety and information overload, while leaving viewers free to find their own meanings and inner points of balance.
