Today we’d like to introduce you to Eugenia Moreeva.
Hi Eugenia, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
I’ve been making art for as long as I can remember — drawing, painting, and writing poetry since I was a kid. Over time, those early interests just kept growing. When I started thinking about studying art seriously, I was drawn to CalArts because of its openness to experimentation and collaboration across different disciplines.
Since being there, I’ve created projects that became a meaningful part of the school’s community — from weekly performances to a large-scale dinosaur installation to a durational piece where I lived inside a giant egg. CalArts really shaped the way I think about art as something shared and participatory.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
There have definitely been challenges, but I see them as part of the process. Making art means constantly testing ideas, reworking them, and sometimes realizing they don’t quite fit. That uncertainty can be frustrating, but it’s also what keeps things alive.
What helps me most is staying curious and flexible — letting projects change naturally instead of forcing them to match the original plan.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
My work often explores tenderness — how people, animals, and other beings exist within larger systems like society or nature. I try to observe them gently, without judgment, showing that strength and vulnerability usually coexist.
In my performances, I focus on creating moments that linger in the viewer’s mind. They aren’t meant to deliver a message, but to open space for reflection — like showing something small and letting it grow in someone else’s imagination.
If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
Curiosity. I notice small things that might otherwise go unseen, and those details often spark ideas or shift how I understand a project.
