Ioanna Apostolou is a visual artist ,based in Cyprus.
On 2015, she finished her Professional Diploma in Architecture and she continued her studies with the MA degree in Fine Art: Contemporary Art Practices.
Being both an architect and artist, Ioanna deciphers and brings to the foreground the inner qualities of physical environments. In her work, she defines and isolates the concepts of time-space and the experience of transition.
Ioanna plays with the perception of natural boundaries, while creating new ones. Her work explores the notion of flowing and the reading of natural places as decoded spaces.
STATEMENT
Through my research and personal exploration, I try to define the concepts of time, space, path and transition experience.
This blend of landscape exploration encapsulates the difference between "Matter" and the physical forces that shape landscape. The relationship with the natural landscape rigorously and inadvertently creates a physical and mental connection with the existing space.
My work refers to the forces of nature, shaping the natural world into a new, decoded, space.
