Eva Janina Wieczorek facts for kids

Eva Janina Wieczorek (born on May 23, 1951) is a talented visual artist from Katowice, Poland. She is a Polish-German painter, sculptor, and draftswoman (an artist who is skilled at drawing).

Today, she lives and works in Brühl, Germany. Her art is known for its powerful use of light and shadow. She often explores important topics about our world in her work. Many of her paintings are in the styles of realism, where things look like they do in real life, and surrealism, which has a dream-like or fantasy feel.

Her amazing artwork has been featured in exhibitions and collections all over Europe, including in Germany, Great Britain, Croatia, Poland, and Belgium.

Her Journey as an Artist

Eva grew up in Poland, where she first trained to be a technician. From a young age, she was very interested in painting. Her uncle, who was also a painter, introduced her to the world of fine arts and encouraged her talent.

To improve her skills, Eva studied art privately with Professor Roman Kalarus, who taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice. She started out using watercolours and acrylic paint. Now, she is famous for her oil paintings on canvas and her digital drawings.

A New Style: Digital Art

Around 2010, Eva became inspired by the digital art of another famous artist, David Hockney. She began to explore digital painting, using computer software to create her art. This allowed her to experiment with new ways of showing people, especially women and children.

Her digital art often shows her interest in fashion and human relationships. She has even created digital portraits of famous people like Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, and Whitney Houston. Eva also creates beautiful landscapes and underwater scenes. At first, she used sketches to guide her work on the screen, but now she often creates art straight from her imagination.
