Description

Author's technique. Completely hand-made. The girl's face is made in a multi-layered technique with acrylic and watercolor pencils.

Margarita Ivanova is an artist who works with various mediums based on the principle of palimpsest – multiple layers of paintings or graphics. These are completely proprietary techniques. Painting - where only oil is used in combination with various mediums, the number of very thin layers reaches 50-60. Or Graphics that use thin layers of acrylic with watercolor pencils. All the works are painted on premium quality linen canvas and covered with high-quality varnish. The theoretical foundation of her artistic practice is metamodernism and new sincerity, and she defines the main method by the term "oscillation". In her works, Margarita explores fluctuations between internal and external, personal and collective, between the community system and the subject system, as well as ways of interpenetration and fragmentation of images.
s works are in private collections all over the world. Margarita is a regular participant in prestigious art fairs and exhibitions, as well as a multiple winner and finalist of international art awards.

Presentation

Education 

Academy of Architecture and Arts 2004-2010Painting and art in general have always been an integral part of my life. After graduating from the university with a degree in Architecture, I worked by profession. But gradually painting came to the fore. And since 2019, this has become my main and then my only occupation. Since then, more than 500 works have been in private collections around the world.

Artist Statement

I work with various mediums according to the principle of palimpsest – multiple overlays of pictorial or graphic layers. The theoretical platform of my artistic practice is metamodernizm or new sincerity. In this context, I define my main method by the term "oscillation". Exploring the fluctuations between the inner and the outer, the personal and the collective, I turn to the modernist problematic of the medium. However, I am more interested in the system of perception itself, rather than the physical embodiment of the image. In my works, I focus on the performative symbolic structure of painting. I draw on the experience of Michel Foucault, on his analysis of the renewed Impressionist relationship between painting as an object and painting as an illusory volume. I am looking for ways to articulate the ambivalence of the very nature of the image – framed and simultaneously revealed in virtual layers of consciousness. I am trying to mark the midpoint of the oscillation, which is localized precisely in optics, in perception. I am not painting portraits in the usual sense of the word, but rather creating a reason to doubt the usual interpretation, the Lacanian Real. In this, I am guided by the Magritte iteration of surrealism, with its visionary entry into the logic of conceptual art and even further into the process of oscillation. I reject traditional aesthetic gradations, creating a painting-an object with which the viewer independently comes into visual contact.
