Eva Wientjes (b. 1994) is a classical figurative painter based in Groningen, the Netherlands.
Her work is the result of two desires: observing and depicting life as accurately as possible, and revealing the conflicting, emotional experience of being a human on this planet.
She began her studies in 2020 at the Florence Academy of Art Sweden, where she was taught nineteenth century drawing- and painting techniques. After she graduated she was hired as Principal Instructor at the same academy. In the winter of 2023 she continued her training through an apprenticeship with the Norwegian painter Odd Nerdrum. Additionally, she completed a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Art History at the University of Groningen (2020) which contributed to her in-depth knowledge of historical paintings and classical techniques.
Today, she works in her studio in her hometown of Groningen, the Netherlands.
