AZIZA ESSA

Aziza is an artist whose work focuses on emotions, physical constraints and experiences. Structure and chaos are relevant to her work. Structured and predictable marks stand in dynamic relationship to the marks formed out of chaos. They reflect movement and fluidity.

Her work not only attracts the eye, but also captures the mind - visual, cognitive and emotional. It takes the expression of violent and non-violent feelings in a head on fashion. She uses oil paint to convey subtle, powerful, but also everyday emotions - "the joys of life, frustrations of life, even vices of life".
