Yevgenia Davidoff (b. 1979, Moscow, USSR) is a multidisciplinary artist and designer currently based in Austin, Texas. Her work explores themes of grief, memory, gender, and eco-centric spirituality through a tactile, image-rich practice that bridges traditional craft and contemporary design. Working across hand-painted glassware, cast concrete, and sculptural installation, Davidoff transforms everyday objects into vessels of intimacy, ritual, and reflection.
Influenced by Russian decorative traditions—particularly the intricate storytelling of Palekh miniatures—and childhood acts of “secretes” (time capsules of found materials buried beneath earth and glass), Davidoff weaves domestic memory and ephemeral wonder into each piece. Her objects serve as both relic and offering: tender, architectural, and alive with meaning.
Davidoff earned a BFA from the School of Visual Arts and an MA from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Her work has been exhibited at Deitch Projects (New York), the Dumbo Arts Festival (New York), TSA LA (Los Angeles), and ICOSA Gallery (Austin), among others. In 2020, she created 37 original illustrations interpreting Hilma af Klint’s esoteric botanical notebooks, which were featured at Lightforms Art Center in Hudson, NY. She was a member of the ICOSA artist collective with her creative partner Carlos Carrillo from 2018–2019.
Recent exhibitions include the 2024 Texas Biennial, the upcoming Texas Craft Triennial (2025), and a collaborative sculptural installation with Carrillo for the UMLAUF Sculpture Garden (2026).
Davidoff lives with her family in Austin, Texas, and splits her studio time between Texas and Connecticut.
