ANYSIA NEFISSI
About
Born: 1991, France
Lives and works: Paris, France
Anysia Nefissi is an abstract painter who lives and works between London and Paris since 2015. From abstract painting to automatic drawing and special projects with experimental video, Anysia's work is multidimensional with high interest in alternative and experimental forms of representation.
With studies in Literature, Art History, and Image-Cinema, her work is deeply rooted and influenced by her philosophical studies and human nature. A big part of her art is inspired by Rorschach psychological tests which studies the interactions between mind and subconscious. The viewer can clearly see the connection between Nefissi's paintings of kaleidoscopic or mirrored patterns referencing to her attempt to intrigue the viewer's mind and subconscious.
Her ink drawings are mainly a result of intention and automatic drawing, expressing the artist's subconscious expressions on the paper. Anysia's interest in avant-garde concepts, aesthetics, fashion, and contemporary lifestyle are only a few sources of inspiration, as she infuses her work with different elements and concepts.
She is influenced by the work of the greatest Romantic figures, as well Surrealism, Modern & Abstract Art theorists as Kandinsky, and Klee. Anysia conducts her work as an expression of color, paradox, duality and form, where form is always being subject to destruction, exuberance, torsion.
"My work aims to destroy the form. Rupture, failure or blur propel the spectator in a psychic scene where visual and inner experiences deploy a reconstruction of figurative images, as reminiscences. My inspiration goes from Rorschach, to André Breton and Baudelaire but also philosophy and human nature. I am interested in experimental and vibrant forms of representation as automatic writing and subconscious expression. Each piece hides a psychological aspect and a captivating duality."
Medium: Acrylic paint on canvas, Ink on paper. experimental
