Sveta Isaeva (1984, Moscow) is a graduate of the Rodchenko School of Photography and Multimedia, where she studied in Sergei Bratkov's "Photography, Sculpture, Video" workshop, and the British Higher School of Design (Photography).
After completing her studies and a prolonged period of conceptual photography and video in Moscow, she has been living and working in St.
She works in an authorial style known as "trash baroque," which combines a punkish and ironic aesthetic with a global excess of imagery. In her work, she reinterprets the aesthetics of old paintings and architectural structures from the past. Her ceramic objects imitate various forms that refer to both world art and everyday objects, transforming the sublime and historical into something ironic and more contemporary. The artist's painting on canvas seems to transfer her ceramic objects into a new medium. The composition resembles a captured process of constant work and adjustments: one energetic stroke lies on top of another, something is subdued or smeared, a series of similar lines strives to perfectly repeat each other. The artist's continuous self-improvement of her own technique is captured in a vivid visual statement.
