"Evgeniya Zolotareva is a CZ-based fine art artist, specialising in abstract art. She finished art school and earned an MgA in Arts at the University in 2006. Her artwork should have the opportunity to "speak for itself" and does not need a decorative frame, but free space. She tends to create dynamic abstraction which gravitates towards. The shapes of her paintings are often in tension and trembling; they need to expand further. Her paintings are focused on emotions and intuition, understanding shapes and colours, which are shown throughout the creative process. She sees every project as a unique exploration of curiosity and experimentation".

In past years she worked as a graphic designer in Russia, Slovakia and the Czech Republic - in Prague and Brno, making designs for a range of brands, among them are Figaro, Ritchy, Michlovsky winery, Volkswagen, Mattoni and others. Ability to create by hand makes her work field wider; she drew chocolate and wine labels, illustrated various catalogues and children's colouring books, and designed jewellery.
Today she is happy to create artworks by making an evocative story through colours, textures, patterns and forms that are full of beauty, peace and adventure, and, more importantly, soul.

She is exhibiting internationally and in the Czech Republic. Her work is in private collections in France, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Russia, and this year she is exhibiting at the STAINER Gallery, Vienna, in October. Among her recent publications, Evgeniya has published articles in magazines such as THE WORLD OF INTERIORS, VOGUE House (UK) and Artmajeur (France).

Inspiration and creating process:

Travel and outdoor adventure are her favourite sources of inspiration. Through the art creation she searches for a new. She experiments and does not close into one. Regardless of the chosen medium, she creates abstract art, in most cases by layering technique. She expresses through painting, concentrating on form and colour. When creating her abstracts she does not impose, but gives choice to feelings and thoughts. She tries to extend the art receiver's imagination by transmitting an impulse. Her paintings are more about emotions and intuition, which help and lead her through the whole creative process. The results of creation are always unpredictable, and this is what she likes most.
