Ivana Carman

My paintings inhabit a realm that exists at the intersection of the real and synthetic. Through an assemblage of painting, drawing, photography, and printmaking, I create convincing illusions that fracture with dissonance. The tactile immediacy of a brushstroke juxtaposed with the cold precision of a digital mark, saccharine colors depicting an otherwise mundane scene, or collaged fabric mimicking a painted window. In these fragmented spaces, the familiar becomes uncanny. Each piece is a meditation on the coexistence of the factual and artifice, exploring how these dualities shape our perception and experience in the everyday
