Who is Iskra?
Iskra is an artist. In her work, Iskra uses painting as the main medium of expression, although she also creates objects, installations, performances. She endeavours to select the appropriate medium and materials for each particular idea. The works are continuation of her long-lasting interest in the religious-mythological content and images that are deeply embedded in the western cultural perception.

Who do you want to work with?

Her Mission
She is interested in the point of intersection of the myth and the present day, how the myth turns into a stereotype and how to change the perception of it. In most of her works, she elaborates on the image of the woman, her roles in society and the dominating concepts of femininity. Iskra’s attempt is to find the exceptions, to highlight possible paths of development and apprehension of women outside the cultural cliché. In such a way she discloses the invisible aspects of the feminine world, commenting on the freedom of self-perception and self-evaluation.
Part of the Tribe
In our tribe, Iskra is a symbol of authenticity and creativity. She reminds us that life is unique, and art is the best way to express ourselves and leave a mark.
