`What distinguishes Eva Kolacz`s art is that the painterly gesture exists in a continuum of emotion. It extends a feeling directly into a language of light and paint. The two fuses, form, trail off, run, stop, resonate, and the painting becomes a stage for human emotions, one that has a continuity. One begins to believe these paintings exist in a real place and time, but this is a pure painterly universe, with each scenario generated by emotions, and painted with colour, produced by light.` John K. Grande, art expert and author.

Eva Kolacz is a full-time professional painter for over 36 years, who incorporates

`Through colour and shape, light and shadow, I would like to ignite thoughts that evoke emotions and personal reflections.` Eva Kolacz
