Evgenia, born in 1987, lives and works in Almaty, Kazakhstan. She studied painting at the Surikov Art Institute and pursued photography in private studios in the Far East and China from 2011 to 2015.
Evgenia has participated in various exhibitions and art fairs. As an artist, she works with multiple media, including painting, graphics, photography, and ceramics.
In times of uncertainty, when any development of civilization becomes possible, there arises a need to rely on fundamental principles. Seeking answers in the past, delving into the deeply personal, and applying a detached perspective, Evgenia creates a personal mythology with its own laws and linguistic code, balancing between anxiety and apathy. Her artistic practice becomes a deep examination of the subject-object relationship, the living and the non-living, influencing the chosen palette as well. The surrounding world is often viewed in fragments. These fragments become symbols that have lost their original meaning. The pieces incorporate historical references and personal narratives, suggesting a journey into a self-contained universe, where the use of ancestral symbols, recurring motifs, and familiar items invite the viewer to explore the artist’s inner world. The artworks juxtapose organic forms with mechanical or static elements, creating a dialogue between movement and stillness.
The pieces incorporate historical references and personal narratives, suggesting a journey into the past to find meaning or solace. This is manifested through the use of vintage imagery, ancestral symbols, and autobiographical elements that invite viewers to explore the artist’s inner world. The creation of a personal mythology within the artworks suggests a unique, self-contained universe with its own rules and symbols. The use of fragments and the merging of the living and non-living suggest a focus on deconstruction and reinterpretation.The artworks might juxtapose organic forms with mechanical or static elements, creating a dialogue between life and stillness, movement and stasis.
