Enya Duchateau

For Dutch artist Eva van Bemmelen (b.1993), painting is inseparable from language. Her practice unfolds between typography and abstraction, shaped both by her background in book design and her experience of dyslexia. She describes perceiving sounds and shapes as if they were words, translating this into monumental yet delicate works where letters become portraits, punctuation becomes rhythm, and words become spaces of relation.

 

Eva studied graphic design at the Royal Academy of Arts (KABK) in The Hague (2012-2016) and was working for five years as a bookdesigner at Irma Boom Office (2015-2020). In 2023 she finished her masters in Fine Arts at the 'werkplaats typografie', ArtEZ, University of Arts in Arnhem.
