Yevgenia Davidoff Hand Painted Botanical Portraits & Artwares

This is a shot of one of the dried flower arrangements from our recent show, *In Vacated Premises*, which closed last weekend at .512
 
On our wedding anniversary today, I was reminded how my fascination with dried flowers and ceremonial arrangements began exactly 15 years ago—on our wedding day with . I created the décor for our reception using dried flowers and fallen branches, transforming the space into a magical woodland. Carlos also made an installation in our studio in Connecticut, where we got married.
 
It feels serendipitous that our latest installation carries echoes of that moment, but also shows how we’ve evolved in our artistic explorations. After 15 years of marriage, I’m thrilled that we’re still creating art together, still passionate about the same materials and mediums. So proud of us!
 
Happy Anniversary

I should post my favorite books here more often. This week I inhaled this one in 3 days, drastically cutting into my sleep. I just couldn’t put it down! It’s a historical fiction about women working at the Tiffany glass factory in NYC at the turn of the 20th century. An engulfing story of romance, friendship, solidarity, and the pursuit of creativity and fulfillment. Perfect mix for me and what a timing with the International Women’s Day! It was a sweet trip down to my old stomping grounds of SVA campus on the 20th Street in Manhattan, Lower East side and Corona Queens. All against the backdrop of suffrage, protesting unfair work conditions and burgeoning feminism. I’ve always been drawn to the art of stained glass, so to get such well researched peak into the production of the dying art form was invaluable. Beautifully written! 👍👍👍 Thank you !.

Happy International Women’s Day! 🌸🌼🪷🌺. As I am preparing for my group show install next week, I am contemplating the Divine Feminine and how it’s connected to the eco-centric spiritualism. And just how desperately the world needs softness, love and nurturing.

The last set of these pink colored tumblers is GONE!
Go Hawkw**d!!! I really do enjoy painting this plant so much!!!

✨ Stepping into the Studio Spotlight! 📸✨ Last week I found myself in front of the lens for the very first time since my wedding photoshoot 🙈 Super talented 📸 did the impossible - I was actually comfortable being myself - silly and serious, present in the moment and drifting into the dreamy state, the whole nine…✨ I can’t wait to share this exciting experience with you all!!!
Here’s me capturing the editorial shot of my pieces. 😉

Are you comfortable in front of the camera?

Hey friends! Yesterday I sent the newsletter to my subscribers announcing some news for the coming ’24. One of which was the end of my longest running product line – travel mugs. They were my staple product since 2011!!!
 
Well, since the newsletter I am down to just 5 blank travel mugs!
 
There are still 2 ready-to-ship cups available Baby’s Breath and Grass Fields. Otherwise, I have the custom design listing active, so as to not over-sell the mugs. Once you purchase the Custom design listing just sent me a note with your desired design, it can also be one of the previously painted by me. Link to the shop in my profile.

While working on the botanical illustrations for the Hilma af Klint show in 2020 I had to adhere to the format of the traditional botanical illustration. It requires an artist to illustrate entire life cycle and notable plant parts for scientific identification purposes. So I had to think about the plant in its entirety from the physical appearance point to the life cycle duration – a kind of 4-dimentional point of view of any given plant. And at the same time present a fragmented cumulative portrait. It was an interesting exercise for me.
 
The work on that series inspired me to continue exploring notions of a whole in multi-dimensional sense and fragmented presentation of a whole. The series “Family Wall”, which will eventually encompass different plants, is started with my all-time favorite – Dandelion. The ubiquitous Spring-Summer wishing flower, my childhood pal, but also an edible and medicinal treasure! I believe this plant deserves an ever-growing representation. The series is made of multiple plant portraits representing different stages of plant’s life.
 
The portrait surfaces are made of concrete, hand-cast from single use plastic food packaging. This time-specific reference is important to me to record these times of major climate change. I want my works to be a reminder of how our consumption (food and otherwise) is directly affecting our environment and our reality.
