EVIAL develops a contemporary figurative painting focused on presence rather than narration.
The Moai constitutes the starting point of this pictorial research. It is through it that a personal writing has been constructed, before gradually opening up to other human, animal, or imaginary presences, while maintaining the same coherence.
Silence occupies an essential place in this painting. It is not an absence, but a presence. It gives space to the gaze, slows down time, and allows each work to breathe.
The works impose no reading. They invite each person to build their own relationship with the painting. Meaning does not precede the gaze: it is born in the shared space between the work and the one who contemplates it.
Self-taught artist, EVIAL lives and works in France. His work has been presented at Art Capital and is included in private collections in France and internationally.
