Evgenia Buravleva graduated from Viatka Art College in 2000 and Viatka State Humanitarian University in 2001. Following this, she attended the Moscow Academy of Art and spent a year abroad studying at the Berlin Art University in 2007. She was awarded a Gold Medal from the Russian Academy of Arts in 2008 and became a member of the Moscow Union of Artists in 2009.
Buravleva’s work is expressionistic in feeling. She begins her work by applying areas of colour and the finished painting, often architectural in form, evolves from this. Buravleva feels that Raoul Dufy is a major influence on her work and she employs the Fauvist’s trademark broad brushstrokes and vigour in her paintings. However, her Russian heritage shines through in her use of subtle and muted colours. Evgenia has recently explored Germany and France, where she absorbed a great deal of of European art and culture, and she has begun to incorporate these influences into her work.
Evgenia Buravleva's generously scaled works are held in private and public collections internationally and in Russia, including the prestigious Russian Cultural Foundation and the Museum of the Artists Union. She recently exhibited at the major Art Basel show. She is part of a new generation of young, talented Russian artists who are moving into the international spotlight since the fall of communism. Buravleva’s work has only very recently been available in the UK, and is increasingly collectible.
