I’m Jevgenia Vassiljeva, a contemporary artist based in Tallinn, Estonia.
I work under the name Loovart.
Each animal is a symbol. Not decoration — a mirror.
They carry something older — the feeling before the decision, the pause before the leap, the moment when you realise that freedom and responsibility arrive together, whether you're ready or not.
These works are about what it means to choose. To own that choice. To stop waiting for permission to become who you already are.
Painted in acrylic on large-scale canvas — 120 to 200 cm. The scale is not decorative. It's confrontational, in the best sense.
Collected in private homes across Estonia, the United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, and beyond. Each work is original, signed, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
Why Animals?
There are moments in life when you already know the truth — before you explain it, before you soften it, before you hide it behind logic.
That quiet second when instinct speaks louder than thought.
That's the space my work explores.
Animals appear in my paintings not as subjects, but as mirrors of something deeply human. The bull holds the weight of a decision that can no longer be avoided. The running horse carries the feeling of freedom — not as a destination, but as an act of courage.
These paintings are not really about animals.
They are about the instincts we all recognise — but rarely allow ourselves to follow.
About the Work
Each painting begins with a sensation rather than a predefined idea.
My process is intuitive and physical. I work with large brushes, sweeping gestures, and dense layers of paint that allow the image to emerge through movement rather than calculation.
Acrylic is central to this process because of its immediacy. It allows me to respond quickly, capturing an impulse while it is still alive. Mixed media adds depth and texture, creating surfaces that carry both energy and weight.
The scale of my paintings is an essential part of the experience.
Working in large formats allows the viewer to engage with the work not only visually, but physically.
Rather than observing the painting from a distance, the viewer is invited to enter its space.
The work unfolds in series — each one an exploration of a particular emotional or psychological territory.
I remain within that territory until the subject feels fully explored — until the paintings themselves begin to answer the questions that initiated them.
Only then does the work move on.
