Yanina Eberhard
Yanina Eberhard is a self-taught Argentine-Canadian artist who has been residing in Canada since 2005. Her art is deeply influenced by nature and is characterized by the interplay of light and atmosphere. She draws inspiration from the nuances of morning and evening light, vibrant colors, and abstract shapes, using oil paints in an empirical manner to convey feelings rather than precise renditions of objects. This approach results in unique, one-of-a-kind artworks that showcase her distinctive style.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My artistic journey is shaped by my personal experiences and perspectives, reflecting how individual paths shape the world around us. Growing up in Argentina, I was always surrounded by nature and crafts, with weekends spent exploring Cordoba's beauty with my family. Initially, I pursued a career in Biochemistry, driven by a fascination with life’s mysteries. After 15 years in science, which brought me to Canada, I faced a pivotal moment as an immigrant without family support in a new country. This challenge reignited my passion for the outdoors and art, leading me to commit fully to studying art.
Moving from Toronto to Winnipeg and finally to Calgary solidified my dedication to art. My paintings in Calgary reflect my deep respect for nature, inspired by untouched landscapes that highlight the independence of the environment from human influence. I believe that nurturing a love for our world is crucial for its preservation, and through my art, I aim to instill this appreciation in others.
Art allows me to express my emotions and experiences, drawing from my early connection with nature and my cultural journey from Argentina to Canada. My work explores themes of nature and the environment, blending traditional materials with contemporary expression. Over time, my style has evolved from realism to impressionism, incorporating unconventional tools to achieve new effects.
Art is my passion, and I approach it with obsessive dedication, painting every day and striving to improve. I’m never fully satisfied with my work, always aiming to do better. I hope to contribute by introducing new styles and techniques while inspiring others to appreciate and protect the natural world, which remains my primary source of inspiration.

"Wendy's Camp" was inspired by a great summer spot close to Rosebud, AB, Canada.
The Rosebud River Valley is an ecological treasure of wetlands and coulees northeast of Calgary that offers a sanctuary for a host of wildlife, including threatened Bank Swallows, Prairie Falcons, Golden Eagles and songbirds.
The area was threatened by a proposed development of a racetrack/ resort.
A great outdoor painting meetup was organized by the owners of the place to show the beauty of the area that was threatened and many incredible paintings came out from the talented artists.
I made several outdoor paintings at that place, all of them have sold, but this one is a painting inspired on one of them made in my studio.

Fireweed, aptly named for its inclination to thrive in regions affected by natural events like fires, landslides, or avalanches, as well as in soils disrupted by activities such as logging, petroleum extraction, and surface mining, is a pioneering plant. Its significant ecological contribution lies in its ability to stabilize disturbed soils.
“A symbol of resilience, of nature's grace, in a world that's often a chaotic race.”-Richard (Narad) Eggenberger

This painting was inspired on a warm summer afternoon with a dear friend by the Bow River.
First Nations made varied use of the river for sustenance before settlers of European origin arrived, such as using its valleys in the buffalo hunt. They skillfully employed its valleys during buffalo hunts, exemplifying their resourcefulness.
The river's name, Bow, originates from the reeds that flourished along its banks, serving as raw materials for crafting bows by the First Nations. In the Blackfoot language, the river is referred to as Makhabn, signifying "river where bow reeds grow."
