Artworks by Eva Fialka

My work explores the living world, emotions, and imaginary realms.

I began by painting mainly cats, as well as dogs and other animals. I do not aim to portray them realistically: I simplify their shapes, alter their proportions, and create sensitive, sometimes mysterious atmospheres in which colour, texture, and expression play an essential role.

Over the years, my work has reached collectors in different countries, with more than a thousand original works sold. This long experience has allowed my practice to evolve freely, without losing the connection to animals and the living world that has always been at its heart.

More recently, my work has gradually moved towards a more abstract form of expression, mainly through watercolour. I am drawn to its transparency, fluidity, and especially its unpredictability. I allow colours to flow, collide, merge and create accidents, revealing organic shapes that may evoke plants, strange creatures, inner landscapes, or imaginary worlds.

My figurative and abstract works belong to the same artistic language. They are guided by intuition, freedom of gesture, and my fascination with the living world. Increasingly, I am interested in the balance between intention and accident: creating enough structure for an image to emerge while leaving space for the unexpected.

I intend to continue bringing these two directions together, pursuing my abstract explorations while regularly returning to animals, especially cats.
