Since 2013, Evi Schartner has focused on the possibilities of watercolor, working with a process-oriented approach that emphasizes both precision and intuition. Her paintings balance structured forms with expressive gestures, often reduced to essential lines and shapes. Handmade paper plays a central role in her practice, with its material qualities directly informing each work. Schartner’s art has been exhibited internationally, including in London, Shanghai, South Korea, Miami, Los Angeles, and New York, and she has received several grants. Born in Salzburg, she is recognized for her graphically driven style and understated, poetic sensibility.
