The Wild Grass

”It’s like a spontaneous and intense energy that comes to me in the moment. My art is about emotions and impulses. I express my feelings with my brush strokes. I paint because I need to, it makes me feel alive.”

Eva Hjelte's work is dedicated to the fragmentary nature of life. Her painting is characterised by the idea of movement and the rhythm of the moment - a recurring constant in all her work groups. Bold, gestural brushstrokes meet fine, graphic fragments and unfold a fragile yet powerful visual language on paper.
