Artist Statement
Positioning the female body and her experience as the locus of perception and consciousness in her work, Ieva's paintings tap into the multiplicity of the female body and, particularly, it’s potential of becoming and transforming.
Ieva’s works contemplate the identity and freedom of the female body. They seek to challenge conventional notions of femininity and instead, emphasise the fluidity of female identity and sexuality. Through experimentation with colour and material, Ieva's paintings present the body as a surface of memories, feelings and sensations. As a result, they transfigure the female body into a dynamic material that slides between solid and fluid, representational and abstract, archetypal and contemporary.
