The Palatinate shaped her from childhood and she loves the beautiful landscape and the mentality of the people here.

inspiring complex beauty of the nature that surrounds us. For her, her pictures are also carriers of her philosophy about people and nature .... She devotes herself intensively to the image of today's man, also in portraits.

One picture is entitled "RedWineFeeling" and lets you feel this harmonious red wine feeling in velvety dark red and blue and see the aesthetics of red wine .. .

Committed to the spirit of the Rococo. Pictures by Eva Clemens in the Kunstverein
Schwetzingen, by Helmut Orpel, Mannheimer Morgen, from April 13, 2016
"Fascinated by color: the works of Eva Clemens. - The joy of colors experienced a heyday in the Rococo. The spirit of that time can still be experienced up close in the Schwetzingen Castle Park. Not far from there, in the Kunstverein Palais Hirsch, you can see the works of an artist who traced the fluidity of that epoch. Eva Clemens brings the aura of that time back to life in her portraits and landscapes. In several cycles: flowers, water landscapes, "masquerades" and "baroque babes" one experiences a deep sensuality which is expressed in the mysterious color force that emanates from her
pictures. The viewer feels drawn into the depths of those immeasurable color spaces. Intense blue tones, a lush green and the most varied of light nuances of red and orange tones create an enchanting prism that seems to come close to the baroque feel and yet has a contemporary effect. Even with the portraits, where the artist is obviously also concerned with the erotic aspect, she does not lapse into superficial indulgence, but rather makes her scenes vague, fragile and fragmentary. Eva Clemens' pictures keep their secret and keep the balance between abstract, informal and impressionistic.
Traditional color technique.
The artist has learned her craft thoroughly. After studying in the USA, she came to the
Berlin-Weißensee School of Art and later also to the University of Graphic and Book Art in Leipzig. Both academies still maintain the tradition of the classic "peinture".
Eva Clemens benefited a lot from this, as she pointed out in a conversation with our
newspaper. Complex compositions like this are only possible with a thorough
understanding of the properties of the different materials she uses in her mixing
techniques. "

Eva Clemens also painted 13 hard, expressive, allusive pieces ... A scream, a vulture, a thin man on monstrous chains ... "
