Meet Eugenia Moreeva | Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Eugenia Moreeva and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Eugenia, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?

Making art helps me make sense of the world — and myself in it. It’s how I process things that feel too big or complicated to put into words.

I’ve always been curious about why we’re here and how we connect to everything around us. Art feels like my way of exploring that in a way that others can relate to.

Turning that curiosity into a career just felt natural. It’s the most honest thing I can do and the best way I know to give something meaningful back.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.

My work is about tenderness — how fragile people and the world can be, even when we try to build systems to protect ourselves. I often look at how humans fit into nature and society, how we try to find order in something so unpredictable.

I don’t stick to one medium. Sometimes it’s painting, sometimes performance, sometimes sculpture — it depends on the idea. I usually start with a feeling or an object and ask, what’s the best way to bring this to life?

Some of my projects sound a little wild on paper — like building a giant egg and living inside it for a week or creating a show with hundreds of tiny dinosaurs. But for me, they’re all about curiosity, play, and trusting my instincts even when things seem impossible.

I’ve learned that people will always have opinions about what you do, and that’s okay. What matters most is staying close to what feels real and true to you.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

I’d take them to the ocean — probably Santa Monica or Venice — then walk through the Venice Canals, get food at Grand Central Market, and end the day watching the sunset at the Culver City stairs. If they love art, Hammer and LACMA are my usual favorites. If there is a show in Geffen Playhouse, we would go too!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?

Definitely my family. My sisters Yulia and Vika are my biggest supporters — their solid, unconditional love keeps me grounded.

And my partner Jeff — he’s my home base. We’re building our own little world together and I am very grateful for that.

I also want to thank my mentors and friends, both in Russia and here in the U.S. — the teachers who challenged me, the artists and researchers who inspired me, and everyone who’s been part of this journey. None of this happens alone.
