Eostar Eszter GavallérArtist's Statement
Eostar Eszter Gavallér was born Hungary in 1970. She spent the first 19 years of her life in Miskolc, a city in the North of Hungary. She moved to the capital, Budapest, to study English and Spanish Language and Literature at the University of Eötvös Loránd. In 1992 she received a scholarship that took her to Madrid, Spain. Here she exposed herself to the vivid artistic vibration of the city and visited fine arts classes at the University of Complutense.
When she received her MA degree in Budapest in 1996 she traveled to Germany where she lived in the Bavarian Alps attending art classes in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. After a year spent in the picturesque alpine landscape she went to America and settled in another beautifully picturesque town in the State of Washington: Port Townsend. This small artist-community provided a very fertile soil for Eostar's artistic blossom. She studied with Danny Adams, MFA whom she considers her most important teacher. For three years she attended the local QuimperArts Life Drawing Sessions every week. This gave her a very good foundation in portraying the human figure which is one of her most favorite subjects aside from completely abstract ones.
Eostar lists El Greco, and Frida Kahlo as two of her most favorite artists.
Her sources of inspiration include the picturesque landscape she lives in, minute manifestations of the greatness of Spirit, glimpses of internal landscapes and reflections of the cosmos through the eye of the visionary. Eostar currently lives in Mount Shasta, Northern California, enjoying the gifts of nature and the powerful vibrational frequency at the foothills of the renowned sacred volcano. Aside from working as an artist she is also a "cosmic-folk" singer/songwriter/performer, and also a didjeridoo player, frame drum player and improvisational vocalist of the meditational journey-music band "EO". "EO" will be playing such meditational journey music at the OM Temple on Fridays at 7pm. For directions please contact the owner of Soul Connections.
Eostar is also the founder of the unique self-healing support system called "Therap-eo" (www.artmarketonline.co.za/therap_eo). Eostar's paintings are exposed at Soul Connections (on N. Mount Shasta Boulevard) as well as at temporary exhibits.
