INTRODUCING EVELIN TOLEDANO
Evelin Toledano is a Swedish-born, Spanish-raised artist, living and working from Barcelona. Her distinctive style combines a mastery of colour with beautiful, pared-back simplicity, utilising negative space to create form from absence. Her art represents ordinary bodies, transforming skin-tones, curves and shapes into abstractions that give the female figure an untainted arena to display her strength and beauty.
INSTAGRAMShe began her career as a graphic designer and later delved into specializing in illustration, eventually transitioning into the realm of painting. Her creative work has taken her across the globe, with projects in cities such as Barcelona, London, Lanzarote, and Sydney. Since relocating to Barcelona, art has become her central focus, and she has been a part of several exhibitions and solo exhibitions.
She attributes the roots of her art to her parents. Her mother was a model and awarded beauty queen, and her father an amateur painter of colourful, abstract paintings.
One side sparked her obsession with colour, whilst the other fuelled a fascination with the female figure. But it also opened her eyes to the consequences of beauty – the societal pressures, the envy and judgment.
But it also opened her eyes to the consequences of beauty – the societal pressures, the envy and judgment. Through her work she challenges this universal beauty standard, giving space for the realities of the female body to take centre stage, and allowing women to see themselves, swapping learned shame for pride and ownership.
TAPESTRY
Limited Edition Jacquard Woven reversible design tapestry. Using sustainable materials, this tapestry seamlessly combines form and function, working as both an art piece to be displayed on the wall and a throw to be used around the house.
“Although all of the paintings and sculptures are based on real bodies of friends, family or models, it was important for me for ALL women to see themselves in my paintings. For this reason, although some names reference people in my life like my grandmother or mother, the names themselves are interchangeable and refer more to general womanhood. This painting could be you, but so could this one, or this one.”
