Hello I am Eva Maria Espejo aka Eva Mirror, a Visual Artist and Designer based since 2014 in Switzerland.
I am born in Barcelona and then lived in several places as Madrid, Sevilla, Brighton, Buenos Aires, Torino and Berlin, first started to study Sociology interested in art, cultures and ethnology but soon I saw the desire of creation by means of investigation.
My paintings and Illustration are mostly animals and portraits, I listened once that my works are a mix between Pop, Surrealism, Naive Art, Psychedelic, Magic realism and Avant-garde.
As Digital Artist I am working since 2010 and as Graphic Design I made experience in Editorial, Magazines and Illustration.
I’ve taught Art for Primary and Secondary school as complementary activity using personal tools for the creative own knowledge and development as therapy or simply as way to start learning arts
