Vanja Karas
Vanja Karas is a Belgrade-born, London based artist
My artistic practice in the broadest terms explores the nature
of transience and impermanence as the core of our existence
but also looks at the cyclic conception of time and its broad recurrent patterns. Ultimately my work looks at time as a circular
rather then a linear construct and attempts to depict the cyclical nature of something that is forever different but ultimately
always the same. In my practice I work in space, in print and on
screen.
Vanja Karas creates works of conceptual vivacity, beauty, and
emotional poignancy.
She explores the timeless themes of life, death, transience, the
irrevocable passing of time and the constant interplay of memory
and immediacy.
Vanja often explores in her work the ambiguous symbolic significance of birds across cultures and history, and the way they
universally relate to both life and death.
