Eva Fakatselis (b. 1981, Hinsdale, IL) is a Greek-American artist based between Nosara, Costa Rica, and Athens, Greece. Working across painting, works on paper, sculpture, and installation, her practice engages themes of health, spirituality, identity, and place. Her experience with blood cancer in 2017, and the profound transformation it brought about, became the catalyst for her recent body of work.
Through a personal iconography, Fakatselis considers the interior landscape of the body, and the ways we are connected to one another and to the natural world. Her work engages the collective unconscious and recurring stories of human transformation—from people taking plant or animal form to the individual’s passage from the physical to the spiritual realm. She is particularly interested in the thresholds between inner and outer worlds, the catalysts that set transformation in motion, and the role of creative practice in navigating these passages.
