Meraki

by Eugenie Vronskaya

 

We are delighted to welcome Eugenie Vronskaya back to the gallery with her solo exhibition, Meraki. After the success of her work in last year’s group exhibition, Vronskaya returns with a deeply personal body of work that reflects the true meaning of Meraki — a Modern Greek word describing the act of creating with passion and soul. Living and working between London and the Highlands of Scotland, Vronskaya’s practice combines the ever-present connection to nature and the poetic sensibility; icon painting traditions with a deeply embodied approach, using layered, translucent forms to express spiritual intimacy.

Vronskaya went on to make history as the first Russian student to attend the MA programme at the Royal College of Art, marking the beginning of an extraordinary international career. Her work is held in major public and private collections worldwide, including Tate Britain, the V&A, the Pushkin Museum, and the Tretyakov Gallery, and has been repeatedly selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.

In Meraki, painting becomes a process of devotion, a labour of love, built through time and lived experience.

Eugenie Vronskaya is a Russian-born artist currently living and working between London and the Highlands of Scotland.

She began her artistic journey studying traditional icon painting techniques from an early age, later attending the Krasnopresnenskaya School of Art and a Fine Art University in Moscow. In 1989, Vronskaya moved to the UK, and by 1991, she became the first Russian student to enroll in the MA programme at the Royal College of Art in London. She is currently a tutor at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in London.

Vronskaya was invited by Sir Anthony Caro to participate in the International Triangle Workshop in New York State, USA. Following this, she played an active role in organizing several Triangle International workshops across Africa, including in Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Botswana.

Her work is held in numerous private collections worldwide, as well as in major public institutions such as Tate Britain, the V&A Museum, the Borchard Collection, Art UK, the Pushkin Museum, and the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. Her paintings have also been regularly selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
