Eva M.V. Hewitt is a fine artist who explores the relationship between the earthly and the ethereal, weaving together narratives of the contemporary Christ and biblical figures within a present-day context. Her figurative depictions of the day-to-day capture the ephemeral beauty of the human condition, reflecting the intersection of contemporary culture blended with traditional Catholic iconography and narrative.

She allows a surreal, imaginative sensibility to flourish in the work and values the unconventional modes of collaboration which occur with non-artists. Hewitt lives and works in Glasgow, Scotland, bringing a delicate combination of the heavenly and the worldly into her paintings. Her carefully balanced works draw upon the earthly and the divine, creating a space for contemplation and quiet reflection on the part of the viewer. The thoughtful nature of Hewitt's creations evoke a commonality between the earthly and heavenly, providing a bridge between the physical and divine, regardless of individual background. This is achieved through her selection of settings and contexts which are recognizable to everyone to an extent – namely and in recent years, these have taken forms such as the circus tent or in the mafia-style members of urban society. The resultant pieces create a narrative that speaks to all humanity and celebrates the interconnectedness between us and the divine.

Some of Hewitt’s artistic influences include Gerard M. Burns, Salvador Dali and Norman Rockwell – all of whom have created highly detailed depictions which exude expressiveness and nostalgia. Although there is a strong element of realism within these artists’ works, the expressiveness and gesture present within their construction is very inspiring to the artist. She is attracted to the 1950s ‘everyday’ captured in Rockwell’s classic compositions. More significantly however, the likes of Burns and Dali have presented Christ in a bold, fresh way to the contemporary art world, which excites her as an artist. Like these artists, Hewitt strives for her artwork to instill a sense of timelessness into all who encounter it. Having launched her first solo exhibition, 'Trapeze' in April 2023, she continues to exhibit her work publicly throughout the city and further afield. 
Ultimately, the art of Eva Hewitt celebrates the beauty of the divine at work within the quotidian.
