Lucy Evans's paintings turns wounds into wisdom
I’m a Ukrainian artist born in Kyiv. I already understood in my childhood that I wanted to be an artist. When I write works I breathe. I graduated from the National Academy of Fine Arts and architecture in 2019 and currently studied in Beaux Arts de Paris.
Art for me is a search, freedom, is an opportunity to speak frankly with the world. In my works, I convey the vulnerability, fragility and at the same time the inner strength of a person. In my work, the soul is the main thing. My paintings often show strength precisely through fragility. I depict a sensitive, tender, fragile, difficult and mysterious world. A person can learn to turn wounds into wisdom, keeping beauty and tenderness in their heart, I think most of my works are about that.
I use different materials but I’m mostly working with oil on canvas.The technique is also very important to me, I’ve been mastering it for a long time, and I still do it, because it’s an endless path of search, which is an integral part of the work.
Being an artist for me is to live a life that is truly authentic to who you are.
