Eva Mitala’s painting is characterised by the re-construction of the image. The image is derived from a landscape that Eva does not want to reproduce but to restructure. Eva’s work is based on her belief that nature is neither beautiful nor ugly and that the strange is beautiful, so she holds her image as a memory, as an excuse and turns towards the aspects of her art that give her the opportunity to restructure the image.
Through the merging of the textures, the sizes, the climax of pure colour and shapes where the one penetrates the other, everything becomes one and we become convinced that nothing else can be either added or extracted.
Eva believes that the artist should not just represent reality but correct it. The internal structure of the paintings, their architecture and harmony, all add to bring about a balanced sum.
Eva believes that painting is a game and that the mathematics of this game ease her effort to compete with the infinite and to achieve the unattainable: a completely new picture.
