The world is full of great artists and you can find many of them in the Day Centre for people with mentally handicap. One such unknown but talented artist is Eva Ciprova, who works in the workshop of Duha in Horni Mecholpy suburb of Prague.
In her free time she paints her ‘Fantasies’ as she calls her paintings which she dedicates to the assistants in the workshop. Like many outsider art artists, she starts her paintings with just a single point on the paper, then almost in a trance she expands out, over the whole surface like she was knitting. Eva has a great eye for colour and composition. She playfully moves between decorative and lyrical abstraction. In her abstract works we see at first animals but then also figures which are completed by decorative elements.
In November 2008 Eva took part in the ‘Artists from Duha’ exhibition in the Café Duha.
