Who I am

Portrait

Ever since she was a child dreaming among the trees, Eva Ledecky has always regarded the world around her with wonder.
She studies visual arts at the University of Strasbourg, then landscape architecture in Blois.
After graduation and during her studies, she travels and fills her sketch books with impressions, while unforgettable memories are etched into her spirit : the misty mornings and ever-changing light of England, the mountains and lakes of Switzerland, the steam and red earth of Guyana, the majestic fjords of New Zealand.


After three-years’ experience as a landscape architect, she sets up her studio–workshop in the Vosges mountains, where, nestling between meadows, streams and forests, Eva rediscovers creativity.
Pools of water, carpets of moss - Eva builds a cosmos of dreams through her insatiable curiosity.
“A landscape fading into the mist after the rain. A ray of sunlight, barely glimpsed, outlining frost-covered twigs. These are magical moments of rare, ephemeral beauty.”
During her ramblings, she learns to truly “see” and then to transfer onto her canvas these instants, details and fragments. Through unerring composition and singular lighting, Eva’s paintings portray sensations.
Exploring matter, both in her pure “open spaces” and her “micro-landscapes”, our artist is searching for the essence and the soul, which render them universal.

Paint, or ink, is natural, consisting of pigment, latex and water. Liquid ink is “projected” onto the canvas in a spontaneous gesture, instinctively.
Collage enables the artist to evoke the geological strata constituting the landscape, the limit between sky and sea, or earth. We have the tearing, then the superimposing and accumulation of strips of paper. Then the vibration, the depth, the mystery. The canvas becomes Matter, a palimpsest evoking time, which leads the eye beyond the image, into another universe.
