Miron Evert works with oil stick on paper, creating large-scale paintings. His works are reduced to a white ground, a single color, and the motifs of fish and chair. These universal subjects are placed in open spaces that do not guide the eye but allow it to rest. By reducing visual elements and movement, Evert creates works that express presence and stillness.
His paintings reflect on a present shaped by acceleration, distraction, and a constant pursuit of more. Life is often seen as something to achieve, while the present moment tends to be overlooked. Evert’s works do not seek to explain, resolve, or instruct. Instead, they create spaces in which, for a brief moment, nothing is required.
A fish is a fish. A chair is a chair. In this simplicity, there is a chance to pause. Evert invites viewers to become aware of what is already there and to appreciate what they already have. His paintings are a reminder to value the present moment with modesty.
Evert stands in front of his paintings like everyone else.
