Many of my, mainly female, protagonists wear a variety of masks, or mask-like creations.

In this way they do not expose their whole face but keep it hidden, thus shrouding their true identity.

Ein Werk aus diesem Jahr trägt den Titel „Crisis“, Krise, und verweist mit düsterem Hintergrund auf die gegenwärtige Situation, in der wir von außen in Bedrängnis und Isolation geraten sind. Ein weiteres von 2020 zeigt eine aus dem Hellen hervortretende, unbekleidete weibliche Figur, die sich in Verwandlung zu befinden scheint. „Wessen Welt ist die Welt?“, ruft eine andere, grellgrüne, nur angedeutete Figur. (Konstantin Alexiou)

Reflections on contemporary identity.

The inspiration for my self-contained series is generated from magazines – where the woman is most often the centre of attraction.
In my preceding series IDENTITY, the game with social roles is the central point. Here the fashion style of a figure is evident. They cover and expose themselves in an attempt to break away from all steriotypical expectations. Identity as performance, carried out with self-confidence in order to create and establish new impressions of themselves.

Eva Kunze links the inner world with its shifting situations and intangible emotions with everyday experiences, impressions and social issues.  With her dynamic brushstrokes she often follows the physical boundaries of the figures she depicts, blurring and partially dissolving them.  Gender boundaries also seem threatened with eradication. The frequent use of monochrome backgrounds accentuates the analytical side of her technique: the subject is put on show in the foreground and empathetically examined.

This work discusses the process of being and becoming. Associatively it approaches our very existence – making references to the classical portrait. Its expressive style creates a dynamic. This painting is characterized by a figures in inner turmoil – in a mythological atmosphere. As if one were diving into a dream world or into the subconscious as in analytical psychology. Suppressed elements emerge – the unexpected and the uncanny – and all the time a big heart is pounding loudly

In my art I link the inner world with its shifting situations and intangible emotions with everyday experiences,

impressions and social issues.

With my painting "Departure into new worlds", I make a reference to the current situation. 

The frequent use of monochrome backgrounds accentuates the analytical side of my technique:

the subject is put on show in the foreground and empathetically examined.

We are born into something without being asked and from the start become

aware of the limits of our chances for self-realisation.

The female figure in this painting connects heart and head. She covers and exposes

herself in an attempt to break away from all that is steriotypical.

An over-dimensional refugee woman appears as a self-assured Amazon.

My aim is to address socially relevant aspects by engaging in themes of the realities of everyday life. In thematic strands of work, as in my series  VEILED - UNVEILED, I explore how we perceive the world, and what we do and do not reveal.

Jede einzelne Frau auf meinen Gemälden fungiert wie ein Titelbild ihrer Erlebnisse. Jede von Ihnen umgibt eine rätselhafte Aura, die uns dazu verleitet ihre Lebensgeschichten der eigenen Phantasie zu überlassen. Ich möchte die Geschichten hinter meinen Figuren in Der Schwebe lassen. Man soll lediglich erahnen was sich hinter der Verhüllung verbirgt.

Every single woman in my paintings acts like a cover picture of her experiences. Each of them is surrounded by an enigmatic aura, which leads us to leave their life stories to our own imagination. I want to keep the stories behind my characters floating. One should only guess what is hidden behind the cover.

Die Inspiration für ihre in sich abgeschlossenen Serien erhält die Künstlerin aus Magazinen – im Mittelpunkt steht oft die Frau,

und wie sie sich ihre Bestimmung sucht.

The artist’s inspiration for her self-contained series is generated from magazines – where the woman is most often the

centre of attraction, striving to assert her purpose.
