Eva Terzoni
Eva Terzoni was born in Fiesole, a beautiful town on the hills near Florence. She graduated from the Richard Goodwin University in Siena in with a thesis in “Economics of Happiness” in 2009.
The following year she moved to London where she started her adventure in Art that brought her to experiment with different disciplines and media, such as video making and stop motion, among others.
She worked for several years as an assistant for the painter Philip Firsov and the pop artist Finn Stone, and as a set designer for various fridge productions. In the meantime she studied art in different colleges. She specialised in figurative sculpture at Heatherley School of Fine Art, and was a student of Aleksandras Aleksejevas.
Currently Eva works as an independent artist and studio and foundry assistant for Laurence Edwards, an established British sculptor, learning and experimenting with the bronze casting process.
“Making art is a way of finding alternative paths of experiencing and questioning life. It represents ‘the other way’ of perceiving the world and acting upon it.
Art is in fact the ultimate expression of an emotional movement that translates into the material world as a gesture-sign that creates bridges,like impalpable threads of light, connecting the real body with the dreamlike body and the emotional body. I am interested in exploring the way my bodies move creating a dialogue with the matter being clay or a piece of paper.
Matter is indeed very important for my practice as to give a body to the idea-spirit and to rewrite narratives, therefore as a mean to rediscover the core of being human and its relationships with the materiality and reality of the world, concepts that contemporary technology have often rendered obsolete.
The use of timeless archaic simple forms and meanings is central in my search as to find common roots and experience alternative ways of perceiving, thinking, feeling and ultimately exploring the contemporary self.”
