You are your greatest potential. But have you noticed how, amid the distractions of daily life, something inside us often goes unheard?

How can we connect with others through our art if we’ve lost connection with ourselves? How do we find our creative flow and poetic process within our practice?

For Eva Kalien, the answer begins in quiet, still places in nature.

She encourages you to find your own space to immerse in deep silence. The key is to rest within yourself. Only then can you step fully into your creativity and create from within.

The art is there. Always. For everyone. Sometimes it take a little courage to face your own art and welcome it.

- Eva Kalien

 

Eva Kalien’s mixed media works draw from a rich background in graphics, photography, and painting, studied in Wuppertal and Essen Folkwang, with further masterclasses under Andreas Durrer and Gret Helsen.

Eva is deeply committed to exploring the poetic and intuitive nature of creation, connecting inner reflection with tangible, expressive art. Her practice encourages sensitivity to materials, rhythm, and the quiet spaces where ideas emerge.

As a teacher, Eva is generous, thoughtful, and deeply philosophical. She guides you step by step through techniques while inviting you to listen to your intuition, explore your own creative voice, and let poetry shape your art.
