EVA MOURTZI

Greek artist based in Athens.

Eva is recreating beautiful images inspired from social media, such as Instagram worthy sweets, cakes, fast food meals, consumer goods that have become fetishistic commodities. Her compositions are crowded, trying to recreate the chaos of our digital feeds. She has the hope the spectators won’t just scroll away. At first glance they will witness an image with beautiful colors and objects but when they look closer, they will notice that the objects contradict each other, the narrative is obscure and they will try to make sense of what is happening.

She is trying to make the spectator stop and gaze at something for more than 5 seconds. To make him think, imagine and create his own stories.
