Nina Todorovic

Born in Belgrade, Serbia, on the 18th of May, 1973.

The primary focus of my work involves the visual exploration of architectural space. Not only the interior and exterior spaces of my surroundings, but also the abstract metaphysical aspects of loneliness and alienation as a reality of life within the city, and how I perceive it in the world around me. I have always been intrigued by the tension created in the construction of certain geometric objects. Particularly when their illusory calmness is in direct opposition to an inherent and disturbing, but indirect presence/existence of human beings.
My work is generally abstract, based on existing spaces and objects found in architecture. I then magnify and alter selected parts of the structure, breaking them down and altering them to be redefined with thick layers of color, whether I am using large scale oil paintings, or small, mixed media works on paper, but, I am also expressing myself trough digital works and ambiental installations, exploring the same themes and problems in new media. My latest works include mapping of the cities, mental maps, psychogeography and glitch art.
