Artistic Journey

Evelyn Grill is known for her large-scale works and series, where she has developed a unique artistic genre that seamlessly blends screen printing with painting and textile techniques. Her creative process is a captivating mix of spontaneous, intuitive actions and meticulously executed, time-intensive interventions, all without a preconceived conceptual plan. This approach stands in stark contrast to her otherwise rational and structured personality.

Driven by an inner urge to create something she perceives as both "beautiful" and "true," Evelyn captures what her inner vision reveals in this deeply personal process. Her works are not merely the result of her instinctive approach but also reflect the experience gained from countless experiments combined with precise craftsmanship.

In recent years, her commitment to sustainability has become a significant part of her artistic practice. Through upcycling, she breathes new life into used materials, reassembling and repurposing them in ways that bring them into the present. She often incorporates previously used paper stencils into collages, pieces together fabric samples into patchwork-like surfaces, and uses print cloths with overlapping layers of color and pattern as the starting point for new creations.

Evelyn's passion for textile craftsmanship is evident in the stitching that adorns many of her pieces. The sewing machine becomes a drawing tool, with figures and landscapes emerging through the embroidery process to take on concrete forms. The seemingly endless thread serves as a connection between these forms, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all things and people—a theme that resonates deeply in her work.
