Eva Verwijs (b. 2003, Rotterdam, the Netherlands) is a multidisciplinary artist primarily working with photography to tell stories and give shape to feeling. Her practice stems from personal experience, often beginning with an intuitive, emotional impulse rather than a fixed concept.
Through her work, Eva explores philosophical and emotional questions, drawing from her inner world while remaining sensitive to the quiet poetry of everyday life. Recurring themes include vulnerability, longing, distance, blooming, and silence — all part of her search to translate internal states into visual form.
Eva has been engaged in artistic expression from a young age. As she felt a dissonance in her way of being in this world, art was a great way to express, relief and explore.
What started with drawing, painting and writing evolved into a fascination with capturing and orchestrating the world through lens-based media. At thirteen, she began creating self-portraits that marked the start of her photographic journey — a means of self-understanding and exploration that continues to deepen.
Today, Eva is more aware and understanding of her being — but never done exploring. She is always finding and uncovering new knowledge and ways of expression.
For Eva, art is both a way of navigating the world and of inviting others to pause and reflect. Her work is a quiet gesture toward presence and serves as a reminder that (when you keep a open mind and curious spirit) magic can be found anywhere — as long as you are willing to to seek it.
