VICTORIA IVANIS
Romanian born Victoria Ivanis has carried her fascination with the unique
and unusual into a wide range of multi-media artwork, including oils,
ceramics, acrylics as well as design of remarkable hand painted silk scarves
praised for their whimsy, innovative and theatrical flair.
When asked why she became an artist, Victoria replies, "I have always
been an artist. I love the fact that art has no boundaries and anything
is possible”.
Victoria’s work has evolved dramatically over the years. Although
she still works with the human figure, she has moved on from realistic
figures to dynamic, figurative abstracts. These abstract pieces are unique
in that they eschew the cold and austere mood that is prevalent in so
much abstract work but live and breathe emotion just as much as her figurative
art.
Her favorite concept is the random arrangement of elements in her work.
The non-uniform variation of traditional designs remains off balance,
yet it is pleasing. The juxtaposition of color and line can be compared
to the offbeat phrasing in music and dance. An illusion of motion is created
as your eye travels from one point to another seeking that elusive focal
point.
Victoria has completed the “Arts and the Creative Process” and
“Fashion Design and Merchandising” certificates and intends
to earn her MA in studio studies, help others achieve the experience of
creating, and ultimately have her own studio where her energy can be free
to surge across the mediums of expression.
