Artist statement

In 2014 Dionysius “Dion” Burton began developing The Eve Esthetic fine art series based on the idea of the mitochondrial eve aka the Eve Gene. The idea of the Eve Gene is that we all share the same MtDNA as the first humanoid woman. Dion took that concept and wanted to align the feeling of the global community with our connection with nature. Visually you'll see landscapes that he's captured from his travels to over 18 countries merged dynamically with the bodies of over 30 plus models. There is no AI being used in any of his designs.

By visiting each country and capturing all of the elements himself, Dion truly connects to every piece presented. He allows for the inspiration gathered from fine art design principles, being immersed in the locations, and connecting with each model to influence his designs. The Eve Esthetic is what Dion call's a forever project so expect to see new pieces in the near future.
