Milan-based, multidisciplinary artist Avvassena invites us to peer into her art practice, which is deeply rooted in the exploration of energy released from the human soul. As she shares her belief that each individual carries within them a blend of positive and negative energies, Avvassena leads us to delve into the core of the human experience, unveiling the intricate interplay of energies beneath the surface.
In this episode, we follow Avvassena's path as we uncover the veiled dimensions of the human soul. Through her skilled craftsmanship, she weaves a distinctive tapestry of emotions, where both light and shadow cast light upon the intricacies that shape us. Her adept use of various lighting conditions takes on a pivotal role in her artwork. The interplay of light and darkness affords her the ability to convey distinct layers of meaning within a single piece.
Throughout this conversation, we have the privilege to delve into the essence of her works such as "Inner Mask" and “Ubuntu: I am because we are.” Avvassena underscores the universal inner conflict that resonates within humanity—the battle to embrace and acknowledge the coexistence of contradictory emotions and thoughts within oneself. She asserts that individuals often repress these sentiments, leading to an imbalance. Join us as we navigate the intricate dance of light and darkness, decoding the profound narratives they unveil within each of her captivating pieces.
