Lucy Ivanova’s painting practice often begins with the familiar — everyday scenes, landscapes, intimate experiences — and gradually shifts their perspective. Her works move between observation and distortion, using painting to question how reality is constructed and perceived.
At the centre of her practice is a tension between the worlds of children and adults: between the openness and immediacy of childhood and the systems, anxieties and narratives imposed by adulthood. This tension becomes a way of looking at reality differently, rather than simply representing it.
