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.
