Eva Hansen Sjøvold (b. 2001) is an Oslo-based painter, currently studying at Einar Granum kunstfagskole.
In her own words: “I want to work on finding ways to express the ‘inner space’ i.e. the emotional life of others and myself through figurative painting. For me, painting is an object, and the bigger I work the more bodily connection I get to the person I paint. I paint other people, rather than myself, because then I can use them as characters to understand myself, and those I paint. As a queer, I am interested in the androgynous and experiment a lot with visual language in relation to this.”
