ABOUT ME

Aurelia’s work is based on the study of connectivity, in terms of the relation to our selves and our surroundings. Currently this research occurs in two projects.

The PORTRAIT SERIES is an artistic practice that explores the connection between human beings. The paintings deal with the different qualities of human existence which contribute to life experience. She uses a mixed media technique as a dialogue between abstraction, figuration and written elements and as a dialogue between mind, body and the given subject.  


The IMPROVISATIONS of Aurelia are based on interdisciplinary performance projects with a musician and a dancer. Through their experimental improvisations they explore the dimensions and qualities of connectivity between different entities of a system in a certain moment.  
The abstract paintings that occur in the course of these performances express the accumulated energy of that given moment.
