Eva van den Broek is a fine artist based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Her work is characterized by a vibrant accumulation of elements that explore the delicate connections between people, their environments, and the objects they hold dear. With a focus on identity, nostalgia, and the constant transformation of our surroundings, Eva’s pieces encourage reflection on the subtle yet powerful influence of landscapes, homes, and memories.
Through natural symbols like flowers and landscapes, Eva opens a dialogue between humanity and nature, expressing the inner processes that shape and guide us. Her approach—working with oil and acrylic paints—allows her to experiment across different levels, embracing both the freedom to work intuitively and the care needed to refine details. In recent times, she has expanded her artistic practice beyond painting, incorporating 3D work such as sculptures, as well as drawings and printmaking techniques. These different disciplines enrich her exploration of themes like transformation, memory, and storytelling.
