EVI O
Evi O. has been exhibiting since 2015. With a curious eye and mind, she is constantly exploring and observing her surroundings. Her art practise was born from a simple desire to express her creativity and stories without boundaries and limitations.
Through paint, Evi continues to explore the use of dominant abstract shapes, although the compositions she presents are broadly suggestive of earthly forms – animal, plant or constructed. The creatures she depicts, and the scenes that she relays are symbolic of people, places and scenes that have left their mark – and this affords her an intimacy with her subjects that infuses the images with emotional resonance.
