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.”
