NINA SUMARAC

Artsted Catalogue, 2023 Edition.

Nina Sumarac (b.1972, Belgrade) is a multidisciplinary

visual artist based in Cyprus, with a background in fine

art, painting, and mechanical engineering.

Her work questions the very nature of daily global and

bio-political narratives which form the fabric of our

consciousness and, in a sense, are the revisitation of

past experiences. By articulating them through a poetic

and often metaphorical lens, Sumarac uses a critical

approach and visual vocabulary that pieces together

a variety of social and political issues, questioning how

we embody socially constructed stereotypes on a personal

and collective plane in an endeavor to develop

new ways of thinking.

“Combining my passion for engineering, fine art, and

philosophy, my current evolution focuses on intermedia

art, integrating new media and technologies with varied

artistic practices as a means of seeking out ways of healing

and empowerment. I am interested in investigating

what it means to be human in the present era of new

technologies, examining ideologies related to personal,

social, and political boundaries, as well as the relationship

between organic and AI organisms/algorithms, and

the power struggles arising from these debates.”
