Art genre “Ethno Pop Art” launched
Eva Bur am Orde coined the new artistic genre term "Ethno Pop Art" in 2012 - in the context of her work complex "Peace Collection", an exhibition project for the UN building in Paris. The artist is considered a style icon of this art movement, with which she wants to build a bridge from prehistoric times to modern times. In her figurative and ornamental art, essential features of urban, street and pop art are mixed with elements of naturalism and art deco - coupled with her own ethnological and ethical attitude.

All of her works express a deep longing for a universal world ethos. Peaceful coexistence of all people and creatures is possible - that is Eva Bur am Orde's conviction. Her aim is therefore to bring art and society into harmony and to raise awareness of global issues. The striking, brightly colored motifs reflect the original living environments of people and creatures and are intertwined in her art to create touching and stirring messages. Sometimes fragile and vulnerable, sometimes strong and self-confident, then again rebellious and demanding - the protagonists of her paintings tell of their deeply anchored roots in nature, they sing the virtuoso song of the inexhaustible wealth of life, they are a homage to creation itself.

The artist's focus is on respect for indigenous peoples, the protection of the tropical rainforest with its fauna and flora, and the preservation of cultures and individuals. The art plea for universal themes, staged in contrasting colors, gets under your skin and aims to stimulate a lively dialogue about the major issues of our time.

The artist works in series. All works in oil on canvas.
