Jevgenija Shkaliova is a Lithuanian artist (b. 1984, Klaipeda). Her art is born in-between inner and outer and talks about subtle and ephemeral things in a playful, emotional and expressive way.
She is also interested in the theme of the perception and interpretation of reality, exploring the possibilities and versatility of contemporary art.
Her practice comprises a variety of medias, but mostly she uses painting, drawing, textile and photography to develop the ideas. Expressive and therapeutic technics such as art therapy and ecotherapy methods help her to find a closer touch with Nature, her processes and inner self.
Artworks created by Jevgenija Shkaliova are in private collections in Lithuania, Russia, Germany and France.
