Eugenia Gorbacheva Prepares Valencia Museum Solo Show While Expanding Watercolor Book and Masterclasses
Eugenia Gorbacheva, a watercolor artist, is set to unveil a solo exhibition at a prominent museum in Valencia, Spain, featuring a collection that links the historic center of the city with the Mediterranean Sea. Her alla prima technique on wet paper reflects her transition from the snowy winters of her past to the warmer climates of Spain and Cyprus. After a decade-long career in fashion design, which she paused for motherhood, Gorbacheva committed to watercolor painting full-time. A significant aspect of her artistic growth was learning to allow her surroundings to shape her art. Among her distinguished works are Harbor of Silent Dreams, Underwater Light, and Sunset on the Ice. She also conducts online masterclasses and is working on concepts from her book, Seaside Watercolour.
