ORIGIN & DESTINATION

Evan Deval was born in Rio de Janeiro. Very early, he quits the city, probably looking for some place he missed, without knowing why, or where it was. His first choice was a little mountain town. Later on, he moves to the north coast of Rio de Janeiro, staying there for a longer period of time. These two villages, although different, raised his interest for arts, relating him with nature and daily life as source of inspiration.

He turns out from any fashion, that intends to homogenize art and uses a simple language in phase with his environment.

He comes to Spain and settles down in Barcelona by chance, after a short stay in Buenos Aires.

But it is in Catalonia, that he finds the peace he needs to develop his creativity:

"I felt protected, identified, reaching coolness and a self-assurance feeling. Barcelona allowed me to breathe calmly, without the stress of a comparable size cosmopolite city. It is a serenity in which I can let it go, being receptive to what surrounds me and moving forward in positive and constructive way."

His double nationality brings him a rich background, and although convinced by the advantages of this place to live and create, he remains open to new ideas and opportunities.

"I am optimistic, doing what I like. I like Barcelona as a base, a reference, but I remain open to the world."

His collectors spread over the world (Spain, France, Italy, England, Netherlands, Brazil, US, Chile, China…), are form diverse backgrounds, with various tastes and styles that confirm the singularity and the exclusivity of his work.
