American artist Eva Visnjic paints portraits and landscapes in watercolor that seize the viewer's attention and doesn't let go. In her more recent works of objects that seem to disappear into smears of color, she boldly explores the limits of representation and abstraction. Her paintings immediately astound the viewer with a powerful burst of emotion. Visnjic was born 1973 in Bakersfield, California and over the years she has managed to successfully build a name for herself in the world of art. For this talented artist, painting is a unique platform that helps her express her emotions, wit, irony and repeal. Quite often her paintings have a satirical or parodical note and commentate on consumerism, whilst challenging traditional artistic conventions. Her use of luminous colors that she so effortlessly marries together, result in a unified composition. The simplistic beauty behind her inspiration draws you within her world, grabbing your complete attention.
This established contemporary artist is currently working out of California, where she has set up her art studio. Eva Visnjic works primarily in the abstract but occasionally she adds unravel figures into his paintings in order to create a multi-layered and complicated composition that demands focused attention.
Visnjic brings light into each of her works by dramatizing the subjects in a way that a photo simply can't. Her latest work that is yet to be exhibited in Los Angeles combines both a realistic and impressionistic style, creating a unique synergy that preserves detail while maintaining a loose and expressive stroke. Loose, wide brushstrokes and fresh color add energy to Eva's watercolor paintings and portraits of ordinary men and women in common everyday situations. She skillfully combines transparent washes of vibrant, flowing color and rich, complex glazes, resulting in a realistic depiction that retains a fresh, spontaneous quality.
For many months, almost an entire year, Eva has been busy creating a series of new watercolor portrait and landscape paintings, as well as encaustic paintings for different gallery exhibitions and events. After her exhibition Visnjic is planning to continue painting, and has already designed the concept for her next work.
