Originally from Serbia but currently resides in Mexico. With a hugely promising carer ahead of her, Nadežda has been painting her whole life, But only professionally for the last 2 years. she is an architect by profession. Her current studio is located in Mexico City. After completing her Master degree in architecture in Belgrade, she worked for 2 years in Serbia. Then she emigrated from her country and began with intellectual and artistic appropriation of other cultures and languages. She worked in Moscow, Amsterdam and Istanbul before finally she settled in Mexico City.
After collaborating with architects of enormous prestige such as Rojkind, FR-EE and Norman Foster, she decided to dedicate herself fully to the plastic arts in which she has experimented with various techniques, textures and materials on which she has perfected the forms and abstractions that identify her as an artist.
Most of her pieces depict the unconsciousness of time, under multiple layers of oil where it is possible to distinguish her own Almost industrialist style.
”Most people are part of the human machine. Alarm, coffee... bed, alarm, coffee...While time is passing I create cracks. The stripping off of materials and feeling them - feeling them below my feet is part of living in the moment, living without parallel with the layers of time. Creating to destruct. Maybe that's why we are here, to destruct. We are witnesses of it”.
”Enjoying the process of the creation without thinking about the end. Hoping that the painting will have the same impact to the observer as it had on me, that they will have the same sense of being in the moment while time is passing.”
”The beginning is an Idea to create unique images. Then after, comes instinct and joy reaching the finale of completion. For me abstraction has a very concrete memory.” why is art important for me.... “Painting is part of my body, like my arms, heart, lungs.. I don't think about it, its just here my whole life.”
”Be aware of every moment that becomes your memory before it´s too late. React, breathe, live before you realise that time will always inevitably take advantage.”
