Biography
Günel Eva (b. Azerbaijan) is a multidisciplinary artist and experience designer based in London. She graduated from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and has worked internationally across Europe, Asia, and the United States. Her practice spans oil on canvas, watercolor, textiles, set design, costume, installation, and experimental film.
Eva moves fluidly between studio work and large-scale immersive environments, collaborating across hospitality, theatre, and participatory experience. Her current focus lies in ecological installations that integrate sound, scent, light, and touch — inviting audiences to experience art not as object, but as living encounter.
My artistic practice lives alongside my work in immersive experience design — where I craft worlds, rituals, and stories that invite people to feel, connect, and remember.My work traces the porous edges where memory, psyche, and ecology converge — dissolving the boundary between inner and outer landscapes. Through painting, textiles, installation, and film, I explore how intimacy, grief, and kinship reconfigure our relationship to more-than-human worlds, proposing tenderness and wonder as radical forms of survival.
Drawing from feminism, lucid dreaming, and speculative ecologies, I weave painting and textile traditions into multi-sensory environments that challenge the inherited separation of nature and culture. Threaded throughout are reflections on fragility, metamorphosis, and freedom: a search for new myths of belonging in precarious times.
These are living works — ecosystems of perception that invite viewers to linger where boundaries soften. Between self and environment. Subconscious and waking. Human and more-than-human. How might art become a site where we rehearse futures that are tender, porous, feminist, and shared?
