Eva Hoffmann

Mother of visual art is architecture. Yes. My artwork is based on my architectural background. In the school of architecture we had for four years art classes, drawing, painting, modeling, sculpture, it was wonderful. The five years on the campus were in contact with students of the academy of fine arts and I was asking myself, why not just painting? But architectural career is wonderful too, I practiced for several years and I don't want miss it. Finally the circle is closed, I am a full time painter. Earlier I had to adapt my big plans to the requirements of the customers.. It was challenging and joyful, but now I can paint whatever I want. If you see my website, , you will find very different directions and styles, but that is! Freedom! In front of the canvas I have the time of my life. My paintings are reflections of the day

Some of Hoffmann's paintings are as rigid and unyielding as math equations. They are sturdy, reliable, and seem almost engineered rather than painted, put together with a welder rather than with a brush. It would be a mistake to think however that Hoffmann's intention is to promote industrialization. Painting would be an unconvincing medium to convey belief in mass production and manufacturing. The lack of any detail that might burden the eye shows that the forms, which lack evasiveness that characterizes the art in our frenetic age, are the point.

It may come as a surprise, then, that Hoffmann demonstrates such tenderness in her terse interpretations of landscapes, which are pared down until they resemble color field paintings. The gentle luminosity of these paintings goes beyond the frame of what seems more of a window than a canvas. What these share with her more stolid pieces is a comforting cohesiveness. Hoffmann is audaciously decisive and unwilling to leave the viewer in discomfort. She is almost messianic, taking on what our nervous generation, glutted with choices, is often unable to do: selecting a path knowing that this means the rejection of infinite others.
