The internationally-renowned Yeva is the guest of honour at this year’s exhibition of plastic arts, which will feature 11 artists. Yeva, is best known for her bronze and polished clay sculptures, works of loneliness, conviction, sincerity and intransigence which span more than 35 years of passion. Her sculpture is born out of a love of life, and the symbolism of love. She is deliberately figurative, and can also combine a hybrid world of animals and humans, animals and flowers and…women, nudity: a subject for which she has a predilection. Her work is marked by the vigour expressed by the feminine and masculine in the nude: a sculptured femininity. From a starting point of perfectionism in a formal sense and precise modelling, her sculptures ooze innovation, purity, the love of the human existence as animal. Her sculpture, which is harmonious and the association of the masculine and feminine in the Woman Being is always handled with volume with a deliberate will to stylisation.
