Introducing the Beautiful Abstraction of Révész Éva Gabriella



I've never met Révész Éva Gabriella in real life. She's a cyberfriend, whom I met on the Art Wanted site awhile back. Maybe a year and a half have gone by since Eva and I first exchanged notes, but I've come to cherish her warmth, enthusiasm, and above all, her humanity.


Eva speaks English so much better than I speak Hungarian, and she does a pretty good job of communicating in our language. It always pains me that I can't return the courtesy of understanding her language. Yet we have managed to communicate in a way that apparently has meaning for both of us. And of course, we share an interest in both digital art and painting.


I find Eva's art to be passionate, spiritual, and just plain exquisite. So I wanted to share it with you here. Some day I'm going to meet Eva in Europe, and we're going to have coffee or lunch and go museum-hopping together! But in the meantime, I will enjoy staying in touch with her and looking at her lovely art!


Eva's site is under construction, and I don't know when it will be finished. But I have her link in my sidebar, awaiting the date that it's ready for the world to see.







The top work is an acrylic painting which Eva calls "Sky High Tree." The next piece down, the floral, is called "Streak of Dawn." It's a digital piece. I love both these works for the warm and glowing light that permeates them, and for the tactile and sensuous surface quality. The third one down, the one with all those magical shades of yellows and greens, is another digital painting that Eva calls "April." It's fresh and has its own delicate magic, and a somewhat ambiguous but alluring space. And the final piece is an acrylic painting called "The Crater."


I think Eva's sense of drama and consequence come across in her work, as does a quality that I think of as being reverent or mystical. I hope you've enjoyed seeing a sampling of the work of my friend from Hungary, Révész Éva Gabriella. The way they structure their names is different in Eva's culture. But that doesn't matter--to me, she's just my dear friend Eva.

  5. Kim, I like them all very much but I think if I had to chose my favorite, it would be the 2nd one. I love the colors, the organic form, and the way the light enters the composition. Thanks for visiting...

    Another award? Me? You're spoiling me!

    Thanks, Kim!

  7. Oooo, my favorite is the second one too. Furthermore, how neat that you have Revesz Eva Gabriella as a friend, too! Like you, I would have wished to have been at the Digital Arts Festival's opening in Hungary.

    Heck, I would have bought you two some lunch or at least a couple of liters of wine. ~:o)

    You're both as amazing as our friend Kim Barker. But don't tell her I said that. :)

    waving at Kim

    *Hugs!*

  8. hi mville,

    you're too kind! one liter of wine would be enough! lol...

    it IS a dream of mine: someday i'd like to meet some of the wonderful people (particularly the women, but don't tell the men i've said that) i've met on the web, and share our experiences and cultures. but i'd have to be rich to do that.

    well, ya never know, i COULD win the lottery--if i played it!

    nice to see you too, mville! xxx

  9. Are you Hungarian,Lynda? My paternal family's bloodline is Magyar. My grandmother or Mumma as we called her came to America as a young girl to meet her cousins previously sent here by their Grandmother. Her husband, my Grandfather whom I've never met was also Magyar but we don't know much more than that.

    As for me, I'm a Heinz variety with Irish and Choctaw blood as well as Magyar. I never spoke English until I was sent to public school after that, we were not allowed to speak Hungarian once we began school.

  11. mville, no i'm not hungarian, but like you, a hybrid of different cultures--mostly russian and german. i keep pleading with my mother to draw me a family tree, but she hasn't done it. i don't know very much about my ancestors--wish i did!

    my maternal grandfather jack used to tell us that his father was "given" a town by the czar in the old days, but i never quite believed him...lol.

    where are you located now?

  13. I'm in Central California right now but on my way to Idaho this spring. I'm hoping to have my duckies in a row in preparation for upcoming recession. It's predicted to be worse than it was in 1930.

  14. I know, things are getting very scary. Sadly, the stakes are so high.

    CA is expensive, so it's probably a good idea to plan--and that goes for all of us.

    Although the best laid plans of mice and men...and women....

    I wish us all luck. And peace.

  16. Thank you for making my heart soar this morning, Eva! My heart is smiling big and it's only 7:20 am here in California.

    Thanks for stopping in, Lynda. It is thoughtful of you to let me know about Eva's reply. I'll be sure to pass it on to the 'family' on the East Coast. They will be very pleased at this 'good will' gesture.
