Niva dotan
multidisciplinary artist a painter and a sculptor
Most of her life, Niva spends in Europe: Paris and Brussels, studding and practicing the modern and contemporary art world.
For her, living she was dealing with visual art and established her own known art company Autonom.
During her studies at the Uccle Art Academy, for 7 years, she exposed her art in many collective exhibitions and made solo exhibitions over Europe.
Changing environments, made her dancing in two main dizzy spin different circles; one of “reality” and another of “magic and illusion”, going on.. ..Painted in colors, daring and outside consensus way of thinking.
Niva’s creation is an attempt to communicate and feel better with people who for real, are interested to know her and to accept her as she is. The question “What is the point of my life?” keeping bothering and her work is leading her to study and to understand what is the main purpose and meaning of Creation.
In her earlier works, we can notice, a personal feminist declaration, but, over time, we see a sort of submission and understanding her goal of existence and sticking with it. The flat two dimensions work, get three dimensions, material and color layers, reflecting her inside and spiritual feelings into the material.
Burt of changing emotions and femininity ranged in circles, between despair and hope, to unite the pieces into a single manifold and past the wounds.
Sometime we can see many small women in one work, making together one big woman, bigger than all her parts, including eternal force, behind a lyric expression.
Daring to show this force, trying to add something plus, from her, Niva calls it “adding your sesame grain” to Art. Struggling to find it ,and never give up…!!… Is her Artist Declaration.
