I seek out moments that occur in our present urban setting, where evolving abstract beauty, deconstruction and decay collide. In nature we see infinite patterns, intricate and perfect.
On the streets I see something similar emerging… my work is immersed in recreating the rhythm and found beauty on the walls and streets around East London, layered with papers, graffiti, and text.

The spectacle last night was even more mind blowing than the last.
It’s so lovely to see so many photos of people sharing their sightings and awe for this phenomena.
As an artist who loves COLOUR, the depth and ethereal colour pallet displayed last night had a profound effect on me.
I sense something, the universe is trying to catch our attention and ground us in the present. With so much uncertainty and devision in the world, this makes you see we are one under this blanket of stars and magic.
Happy Friday. The birds are very happy today in the sun. Here’s to a good weekend ahead.

Rain, rain, go away……
Good Tuesday afternoon. It’s cold and very WET ☔️
I’m always dreaming of living in warmer weather. This year the UK has not had much sun and it does make life feel heavier.
On a brighter note, I’m sharing another one of my beautiful Blue Morpho artworks that has winged its way to a lovely lady who has added this to her gallery wall and a previous butterfly artwork purchase from myself.
It’s always lovely when someone wants to make another purchase from an artist.
I have done this myself also as I also buy art.
I know buying art may seem like a luxury at the moment for many but I think it’s good for the soul.
I’ll be working on some new smaller urban artworks for the coming season. Colourful and bright to get us through the darker nights ahead.
Have a good evening.
Evi 🙏🏼🦋

Abundance 🤍
100cm x 100cm
Here are some more details from my latest artwork and commission to celebrate 10 years of a journey shared and abundance of this life’s journey.
Inspired by the beautiful abundant paintings of the 17th century Dutch floral paintings, this brings many layers of hyper collaged paintings and my own urban texture printed on fine art paper and hand varnished with several layers to create the depth and feel of an oil painting of an old master.
The symmetry symbolises the two sides coming together as one. 10 bees, 10 butterflies and 10 beetles symbolise the ten years and celebration of this union.
I wanted to say thank you for entrusting me to produce such a special piece of work.
Commissions are some of my most enjoyable works as I love to bring a clients vision to life. It is always the scariest but the best feeling when you deliver the final artwork and I was so happy that my client was so happy to collect and give this as a 10 year anniversary gift to his wife.
Congratulations to a beautiful family. I am also inspired by the abundant love and generosity you continue to share and give to all the people in your lives and whom you know including myself. Here’s to the next decade and chapter in your lives.
Love always,
Evi 🦋

Urban Floral decay.
This piece echoes the struggle between nature and urban spaces and also how nature will miraculously find a way if we give it just a little space and helping hand.
A lot of my work also explores seeing beauty in the most unlikely places including the decaying urban textures.
I recently visited the beautiful gardens of @grassroofco who has shown some amazing examples of growing native wild flowers for biodiversity on different substrates from spoils from sugar factory or motorway rubble! Please check out their instagram. They also brought life to brown spaces in inner city London.
Visiting his work not only inspired me to be more creative in the garden but there feels like there is an alignment in a souls purpose to make people notice and look deeper. It has been my mantra from day 1 with my art.
Hope you enjoy this reel showing details from my shortlisted artwork for this years @visualartopen
