About

Eva Mitera paintings principally focused on the theme of landscape, natural and meteorological phenomena, images alternately abstract and figurative with evocations of motif. These atmospheric images resist the simple perception and analysis, both based on the memory of the observation taken from nature and transformed onto canvas. It is vital to Eva to capture the essence of nature, the subtle changes of weather and the elemental forces of nature, the dramatic, the cataclysmic factor, the tensions and vibration of landscape. Paintings are untitled or with laconic titles for it should be felt not interpreted. Large format of the oil images plays an important role in creating the desired dramatic sense of nature.

Paintings of clouds are an idea of materializing the immaterial, painted from remembrance and impression. Clouds are unrepeatable, unfixed, universal, Heavenly, in eternal movement, visible but intangible, constantly changing in shape, form, poise, argument, unburdened by memory of any kind, encouraging diverse interpretation, generators of imagination, oneiric.

Equally important as the motif is the process of creating, exploring the possibilities of color and light, both in traditional oil technique of the Dutch masters and the gestural spontaneous strokes of the brush “alla prima” characterized by an abstract overall structure.
