visual artist
Working with various artistic means and materials sculpturally, such as metals, furs, oils and fabrics, as well as expressing her ideas through drawing and painting, Zvane develops a common basis for human and non-human (animal, surreal) phenomena in the environment. Zvane is forever busy with questioning - how to make materials emotional and how to change their aggregate states, how to transform one into another. Paula Zvane obtained a bachelors degree from the painting department of the Latvian Academy of Arts and graduated from the Fine Art masters program of Central Saint Martins University of Art in London in 2023. In 2021, she received the Cecil Lewis Art Award in sculpture. She studied in Iceland, where she participated in several projects, creating sculptures, installations and performances in Reykjavik Association of Sculptors. Paula has participated in international group exhibitions and residencies, including Guts gallery in London with flax hair lace works, Skaftfell art residency in Seyðisfjörður and Making waves art residency in London with scientists from Japan.
