Eva van den Broek is a Rotterdam-based artist, originally from Zeeland. Her practice explores the relationship between landscape, memory, and storytelling, with a particular interest in Zeeland's mythology, its stories of water, lost land, vanished places and mythological creatures.
Through painting and other media, she investigates how historical events and local legends transform over time, shifting between fact, memory, and myth. Old photographs, newspaper archives, landscapes, and fragments of stories become starting points for her work, alongside the strange and imaginative creatures that inhabit Zeeland’s folklore.
She experiments with different mediums and materials, from painting and drawing to printmaking and sculpture , searching for different ways to give shape to these stories, characters, and layers of memory.Education 2019-2023 Bachelor Fine arts, Willem de Kooning Academie2022 Exchange, Visual art, Emily Carr University of art and design, VancouverPrograms2024 Ongekend Young Masters @ Auction, Amsterdam2024 Connect and Create, Workshops in collage, painting and drawing, Het wijkpaleis, Arte la Tarte, Rotterdam2021 All You Can Art, Kunst Blijft Slapen, RotterdamExhibitions 2025 Kunstschouw, Schouwen-Duiveland
