Eva Montealegre

"In the heartily textured, expressively drawn, chromatically saturated abstractions by Eva Montealegre, the artist’s own process of self-discovery plays out in organic, macro/micro shapes and patterns that don’t so much communicate her hard-won insights as offer local evidence of the journey. Pondering interconnectedness from the cell to the star, light waves and brain waves, archetypes of the individual psyche and collective unconscious, along with natural and culturally-activated principles of color, she also draws parallels between the sinewy body and the undulating oceans, tracing energy fields and fractal musicality as one among many ways to understand what life is." —Shana Nys Dambrot, Los Angeles Preeminent Art Critic
