Drawing on earlier historical art periods including those of Russian Constructivism, abstract expressionism, and Neo-Dada, painter and sculptor Iva Gueorguieva redefines abstractionism in her contemporary large-scale paintings. Gueorguieva's collage-like compositions utilize strategic application of line, shape, and color to create illusions of space and movement, as seen in Silver Quintillion. The result of these compositional choices evoke incredibly strong emotions—energetic, anxious, adrenaline-fused, and even grotesque. In doing so, Gueorguieva pushes the boundaries and planes of her paintings, in turn, begging the viewer to look, and feel, more deeply. Inspired by the Californian landscape, Gueorguieva currently resides in Los Angeles, CA.
