The definition of the word rebirth is “the process of being reincarnated or born again; a period of new life, growth, or activity, a revival”.
This exhibition investigates precisely these aspects, through the thought and works of international artists selected by our curatorial staff.
Inspired by the feeling and the desire to start over, to restart, to be reborn, our Rebirth exhibition is a selected collection of artworks from all over the world. After a long work, our curatorial staff offers you this exhibition online accessible from every part of the planet, a selection aimed at promoting contemporary artistic research in its different modes of expression.

Biography
Evgenia Makarova is a contemporary abstract artist based in Aylesbury, United Kingdom.
Her work explores the tension between fluidity and control, between the openness of colour and the impulse to interrupt, mark, or contain it.
She builds paintings through layers of colour, gesture, washes, and repeated interventions. Soft atmospheric fields are often disrupted by lines, marks, loops, grids, or structural fragments that appear to hold the image together while also unsettling it. These elements do not resolve the composition; they create a sense of pressure, movement, and instability.
Makarova is interested in the point at which a painting begins to resist order. Colour shifts, bleeds, and accumulates, while drawn or sprayed gestures act as traces of decision, correction, or disturbance.
Rather than constructing a closed visual system, she approaches painting as a place where opposing forces remain active: control and release, clarity and collapse, structure and atmosphere. The final image is not a conclusion, but a suspended state — something still forming, breaking, or changing.
Her work has been widely exhibited internationally, including presentations in the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany, Austria, Greece, and the United States. Notable exhibitions include Abstraction at Manifold Global Art Gallery (USA) and Female Gaze at Galerie Am Roten Hof (Austria). She has been shortlisted for The Bath Open Art Prize (UK) and the Fresh Legs Award (Berlin), and received an Honored Mention at J. Mane Gallery (USA). Her works are held in private collections across the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United States. Through a layered language of gesture and disruption, Evgenia Makarova creates paintings that resist resolution—inviting viewers to engage with ambiguity, tension, and the shifting nature of perception.
