Kunstart: Malerei
Stil: Expressionismus
Statement:
Evguenia Men is interested in the reaction of the human soul as it experiences both grief and joy. Evguenia views the human soul as an enormous secret world that becomes visible through perceiving and painting the essence of visible objects. She interprets human emotions by juxtaposing colors of her subjects. When in desperation she may see red as black, yellow as grey, or blue as brown. Objects are distorted, sugar is bitter, and peaches are tasteless. For example, Evguenia paints grief turning to joy by showing an open red and black mouth screaming out white pearls.
