BIOGRAPHY
The fundamentals of Eveline Kusnyar’s visual world are the memories experienced together with family and friends, the mood and the adjusted feelings of first impressions. Her works are edging between childhood and adulthood, where animal identities serve as portayals, along with the faceless, hiding figures. Her fundamental motive is the rabbit, in every possible form. Real and unreal items and situations flow from painting to painting, so her works create an impression of a light game.

STATEMENT
In my works I capture the everyday life of my children. While I paint existing scenes, I mix events and enhance them, so besides the ordinary themes I can also show my own past and my childhood experiences. This is what the rabbit represents, what I put on all my works in different forms.
The detailed elements of figures are complemented with homogenous surfaces. I often use found things, embroidery or rudimentary drawings of my children on my paintings.
