Eva G.

Eva was born in Madrid, Spain in 1971. She considers herself a citizen of the world, as she has lived in several countries in Latin America and Europe since she was a child, due to her father's work. She studied in an art conservatory in Costa Rica, where she had her first contact with clay at the age of 11. She still remembers her first sculpture which was a pregnant woman of 30 cm, since then she knew that her life would be linked to clay. But life was whimsical and took her on other paths, she studied nursing in Spain and worked as a nurse for 15 years, and despite that, she always kept her passion for sculpture and did small projects for pleasure. 

In 2012 her daughter Maia was born, and she stopped working to take care of her. Eva’s family moved to Sweden and then to Ireland, where they live now. There she decided to try again the dream of her youth. To explore her skills, she bought clay, and in the laundry room of her house, she set up a small workshop where she has been able to develop her passion for sculpture. 

She has found in the human figure her way of expressing herself and transmitting her ideas and feelings. Eva is passionate about classical art and an admirer of baroque art.  Reminds her that the human being is also capable of creating beauty and getting into ecstasy with the senses. She has clung to that idea to get away from the destruction, hatred, and pain that surrounds us and find a balm that helps us awaken our senses and emotions. 

She likes to draw on her sculptures as if they were tattoos, extensions of an idea that gives his sculptures more strength and personality.  She works with porcelain, because she finds in it, the perfect material that merges with her art, its whiteness is synonymous with purity and the drawings and tattoos stain it, giving it authenticity, and making it more mundane. The perfect combination.
