Eva Busch Verni is a multidisciplinary artist from Chile currently based in Berlin. She holds a BA in Visual Arts and a BA in Aesthetics.
Busch Verni’s work is centered around sensory and sensitive experience, focusing on themes of fluidity, ephemerality, eroticism and the body’s relationship with its surroundings, often highlighting traces, imprints and arbitrary details that may go unnoticed in their quietness.
Her work arises from playful and spontaneous experimentation with various materials and phenomena that are within reach, spanning across drawing, sculpture, photography, writing and time-based media. Her process is informed by the principles of meditation: attentive observation, an opening of the senses, finding spirituality in the mundane, and welcoming the complexities of embodied experience.
During her residency at GlogauAIR, she is experimenting with latex, installation, chalk and charcoal drawings. The works create visual contrasts between transparency and opacity, light and dark, ephemerality and density, positive and negative space. The series delves into the permeability of bodies and their boundaries, understanding skin as a porous membrane and considering the way in which physical surroundings and relationships affect our definition of personal space. The symbolism of hands is present throughout the works, representing crucial energy points in the body, marks of personal identity and the creative core of artistic practice.
