Eva’s works focus on everyday life and the ordinary, which she strives to explore and present from a fresh perspective, revealing the uniqueness and extraordinariness of the mundane. Her paintings are optimistic, filled with life and genuine emotions. Armisén’s characters are ordinary people—walking, dancing, eating, gathering with family and friends—in other words, simply living their lives. This beauty of everyday moments fascinates Armisén and inspires her to draw parallels between human life and natural phenomena and cycles. The artist dedicates series of works to themes of love and family, self-discovery, and finding one’s place in life. She engages with the viewer on essential topics that form the bigger picture of the world. Her naïve style and vibrant color palette make her paintings reminiscent of children's drawings, which for the artist represent sincerity and honesty with oneself and others. In her works, everyone can recognize themselves and their families, recall important moments from the past, or reflect on future plans. The warmth of home and the embrace of loved ones are recurring themes in Armisén’s art, emphasizing the irreplaceable and unwavering importance of family, love, and care. A separate series of her works is dedicated to overcoming difficulties. Through her paintings and sculptures, she encourages resilience, urging people not to give up but to keep fighting for what is dear and valuable. Life’s hardships and the experience of internal or external crises are also part of everyday life, showcasing the strength and near-omnipotence of human conviction when guided by a meaningful goal.
