Artist Statement
Evgeniya works mainly with figurative painting, sculpture, and installation in which she is balancing between traditions of surrealism and ideas of Jungianism. She issues the challenge to create symbolic language, in which she addresses herself to the inner spiritual wandering, theme of fate and transformation, and exploring nature of reality. Her tools for carrying out this research become world and personal myths, her relationships with nature, dreams analysis, and life experience.
In each work, she contemplates the nature of things and intertwines interrelations between objects. The rich abundance of images, combined into constellations, is a distinctive feature of Dudnikova’s style, alike the surrealistic techniques. Her images mostly deal directly with nature, emerging from it or producing new lifeforms. The artist’s profound connection with nature dates as far back as her childhood, she spent, surrounded by forests and their dwellers, and her close relations with horses as well. The attachment to wild nature, traveling, and intense observation of the elements and natural phenomena have now become an integral part of her creative practice as well as her personal identity.
