IEVA ANSABERGA

My paintings are intimate visual and visceral encounters with the body’s intensity and sensuality.  Celebrating the multiplicity of the female body and, particularly, it’s potential of becoming and transforming, my creative practice taps into our intrinsic connection to nature and the contemporary feminist discourse.  

 

By pouring, pushing and pulling paint on a surface, I approach the body as porous and dynamic material, blurring the boundary between the external and internal, past and presence. Anchored by invisible threads of its unique history and time, yet liberated through the materiality of paint, the body slowly transforms, becoming a shifting surface of memories and bodily sensations. Immersed in a moment, absorbing and pulsating with its surroundings, the body strives to become, if only briefly, free.
