Bio

       Eva Dijkstra’s work draws on the language of minimalism and hard edge abstraction. Straddling the junction between painting and sculpture, and art and design. Presenting itself as non-objective, it is after closer investigation, the true meaning reveals itself.

Each of the works finds its origins in data, such as the World Happiness Index, and global temperature rise. Eva meticulously
dissects and translates these numbers into precisely crafted diagrams.

After this initial process the work seemingly ‘develops itself’ into bold and colourful compositions. Both exact and abstract. Eva primarily works with shaped canvasses and composite wall objects, which is part of her quest to marry the 2-D with the 3-D. Hidden shapes under the canvas hinting on both the underlying diagrams and obscured meaning underpinning each work. 



Eva currently lives and works in
Amsterdam (The Netherlands) and Sydney (Australia).
