The sensitivity of Eva Gonz\u00e1lez<\/a>\u00a0naturally and directly orients her towards everything good in life, such as a good trip, a good meal or a good conversation. And after 20 years dedicated to the business world, she found the path to fulfilment: portraits and the pictorial art that she has been cultivating with such dedication, following in the footsteps of her mother, the watercolourist Amparo Mor\u00e1n. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Tell us about yourself and your work. Where did your vocation start? Any first memories?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Creativity has been with me since I was a child and I always liked to explore further. When I was 9 years old my first nephew was born and I was so happy that I made him a pencil portrait. I think that was the first realistic one. My mother painted watercolours in a studio and many winter days she painted at home. The truth is that I have always felt art as a part of me, very, very intimate, totally linked to my essence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you find most satisfying about your work, and is there anything you are particularly proud of?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I love that the fruit of my work is a part of me, my thoughts and my emotions. I have worked for over 20 years in the corporate world and it has nothing to do with me. I loved my job but this is the most authentic version of myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a portrait painter, you must get a lot of commissions - do you enjoy this kind of work?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I love the stories behind the commissions because there is always a lot of love behind them. Giving a portrait as a gift is a beautiful way of telling that person how important they are to you, the value they have as an individual and the beauty they breathe. The complicity throughout the process is magical and emotions are always unleashed at the moment of delivery. It is wonderful to be part of something like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your creative process like, what are your sources of inspiration, any particular music while working?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I love working with quiet jazz because watercolour needs calm. And what has always moved me are emotions, the story behind an image. I am passionate about humanity, the feelings we all have and share, empathising with other souls through painting. That's why I always try to make sure that whatever I paint moves me inside and that's what I hope will happen to whoever sees my work. I think the worst thing that can happen to an artist is to leave them indifferent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
