Evgenia Stepanova

Alterego - Jacques Jacqueline (Jacques Jacqueline). Born in Izhevsk in 1983. Since childhood she started experimenting with clay creating sculptures. After receiving training as an artist, she continued experimenting with different materials and exploring life (or rather her inner world). She travels around Russian cities and discovers new opportunities for self-expression.

I found my definite style a long time ago and this process has taken me a lifetime. And I consider it the most important thing! Style is in everything: in my lifestyle, in my surroundings, in every word and sound. And I continue to realize my style. And what kind of style is it? First of all, it's real and it's been through my whole life. It has few luxuries, a style of trial and error, surprises, joys, resentments, learning, love and acceptance.

Yes, a painting can cover a hole on the wall, decorate an interior, but first and foremost it is energy. The energy of the person who created this work of art. My paintings are my energy level or the quality of my life. And who are you? Probably, first of all, a person who loves my style. Someone who is close to me in spirit and who understands that life is not a jar of jam and a truck with toffees passing by your house, which can overturn anywhere, but not near you. A man who has a hard time being himself but keeps bending his line.

"When evaluating a painting, it's important to realize that you didn't spend an hour with a paintbrush to create it, but a lifetime. The artist puts all of his experience, knowledge, and emotions into his painting, whether it's a scrap of paper or a stone sculpture."

Some statistics: I studied to be an artist at URUK (Udmurt Republican School of Culture) teacher Vostroknutova Natalia Vladimirovna and UDGU (Udmurt State University) teacher Pervina Lyubov Ivanovna.
