This is the public profile of Ana Ivanovska, Additional information and high-resolution images are available for accredited press members, to access additional information about Ana Ivanovska please login as a press member.About Ana Ivanovska : Ana Ivanovska’s visual language is based upon aesthetics and symbolism of primary geometrical forms. Symbols and their psychological meaning are her main interests in art and in geometry she experiences the cosmic, spiritual, divine nature of things.
Ana’s installations are carrying the idea of oneness and interconnectedness of all things in nature in its numberless diversity, with the emphasis of the dualistic unity (the balance of opposites forming the unity) of which all life comes from: micro-macro cosmos; one-multitude; female-male principle; life-death. They refer to the principle of inseparability and union as a continuous reminder of our relationship to the whole. Creation of new life, the holiness of the act of giving birth was the main theme of some of her previous audio-visual installations. Not only as an idea of human birth but also the idea of cosmic birth, the genesis of the Universe.
She is mainly concerned with spatial concept of art, a work of art that transforms the gallery space as well as site-specific installations which impose visual impression upon the spectator with its oversized dimensions. The eternal search for perfect balance of the spiritual and the material principle defines her artistic writing.
The representation of the “metaphysical world”, the concept that there is more space than it can be seen, that there is a vaster horizon, attracts her interest and triggers the creativity. Optimistic by nature, her artworks are a true celebration of life which is fueled by satisfaction and the pursuit of the meaning of our existence. Ana’s eternal search for perfect balance of the spiritual and the material principle defines her artistic writing presented through her art and in life in general.
