Antonela Aiassa
Buenos Aires Argentina, b. 1988
Biography
Antonela Aiassa is a painter and sculptor based between Barcelona and Buenos Aires. Her practice draws on natural forms, personal experience and the relationship between people and their surroundings, exploring ideas of identity, belonging and transformation.
Combining formal studies in art and fashion design with a largely self-directed practice, Aiassa has developed a visual language centred on line, texture and organic form. In her paintings, delicate ink lines accumulate across the canvas, creating intricate compositions within a restrained palette of natural tones. Her sculptures extend these concerns into space, using clay and chamotte to explore volume, surface and the tactile qualities of materials.
Her process balances an initial intention with intuitive decisions, allowing each work to develop gradually. Moving between painting and sculpture, Aiassa brings together repetition and variation, stillness and movement, inviting close observation of the relationships between individual marks, forms and the whole.
