Jenny Ivanova - Sensation (poster)

"Sensation" (limited edition 50)
poster/cotton paper (framed)
73 x 53 cm

My latest creative pursuits are related to the portrait and its role in the 21st century. Striving to expand its boundaries and mine and establish a genuine connection with the viewer, I created a series of personas freed from any external influence who can fully explore their own identity. The idealized world that surrounds them unfolds as if on a theatrical stage. An almost voyeuristic view of a dream or a perfect moment in which you are the most important.
