Eva Smerekanych

Artist Statement

Eva Smerekanych (b. 2000) is an American sculptor originally from Seattle, Washington. Her artwork explores the internal tension of identity, heartache, and existential dread. She is inspired by the strength and power of the human body as the actor through which we interact with the universe around us. Her work primarily explores the female figure through a mixture of hyperrealism and surrealism at a small scale. Eva has always had a fascination for mathematics and cosmology, and often uses concepts from higher dimensional topology to influence the visual interpretation of her work. She asks questions like “what would it feel like to interact with higher dimensional space?”
