Eva Petkova

Evelina Petkova is a painter from Bulgaria.

She gets to the bottom of reality and depicts it on canvas. Her surroundings, namely friends, parents, loved ones...are her muse and part of her strokes which portray timeless characters, enrich the mythology of the artist. Her acrylic paintings oscillate between realism and symbolism. She uses a paint brush or a palette knife, her sculptures in stone strip down the body, close to nudity and portray raw emotions. Body is the main focus of her work. She is a committed artist and feels one with her material. A physical and lustful relationship emerges and celebrates creativity. Evelina Petkova drives the body towards a metaphysical experience, which is derived from reality. The artist shapes memories through artistic transfiguration. Her commitment can be felt through her exploitation of materials and her inherent passion.
