Nevena Prijic (b. 1985, Belgrade, Serbia) earned her BFA and MFA in Painting from The University of Novi Sad, Academy of Fine Arts, Serbia. She immigrated to the United States in 2017. Her work has recently been exhibited at M+B gallery (Los Angeles, CA), Richard Heller gallery (Los Angeles,CA), and many others including Serbia, Hungary and France. Nevena Prijic lives and works in Los Angeles.
Born in Serbia, where she lived until 2017, Nevena Prijic draws on Neolithic archeological history from that area, and the connection between biological life and machines. Nevena’s compositions lie halfway between figuration and abstraction. Figurines, inspired by Vincha culture, are modified to the point of cyborg-like creatures from the post-human world. They are covered by transparent “drawing” painted using hundreds of needle-thin brushstrokes representing the invisible diagram of our body as a machine and a spiritual energy.The opposition between virtual and real, ancient and futuristic, brings the feeling of eternal time and universality of existence, where everything is connected and not defined by borders, languages or gender.
