IEVA ANSABERGA

Weaving connections between the body, nature and the sense of self, my work explores the evolving representations of the female body over time.

My visual language draws inspiration from ancient depictions of the female form, cinematography and the rhythms and processes of natural landscapes.

 

Approaching the body as an elastic and dynamic material, I pour, push, and pull the paint across the surface, activating a subconscious perception of space and movement.  Anchored by the invisible threads of its unique history yet liberated by the materiality of paint, the body in my work slowly transforms, becoming an essence and expression of the place it inhabits. Absorbing and pulsating with its surroundings, the body becomes a shifting surface of impressions and sensations - a fluid, yet sculpted imprint of its temporality.
