Ieva Ansaberga
Bio
Born in Latvia and based in London, Ieva's paintings explore the representation of the female body and its relationship with the psyche. Through experimentation with paint and colour, Ieva's work seeks to push the boundaries of how fear, pain, desire, dreams and aspirations are socially and culturally inscribed in the female body.

Ieva Ansaberga
Ieva (b. 1981, Latvia) lives and works in London. Ieva’s paintings contemplate the identity and freedom of the female body while tapping into our intrinsic connection with nature. Her practice seeks to challenge conventional notions of femininity and instead, emphasise multiplicity of the female body and, particularly, it’s potential of becoming and transforming. Through experimentation with colour and material, Ieva's paintings reveal the body as a surface of memories, feelings and sensations. As a result, they transfigure the body into a dynamic material that slides between solid and fluid, representational and abstract, archetypal and unfamiliar.
