Raisa has been exploring the topics of nostalgia, interruption and destruction in her work. Although known as a painter, Raisa’s recent experience of becoming a mother have pushed her to dive off into new disciplines such as glass sculpture and performance art. In her practice she dissects, peels, slices, unveils and reorganizes extreme experiences to help process the impacts. RaisaNosova.com
In the words of the artist: My work opens a platform for discussion on the topic of trauma and resilience. I seek to bring awareness to the emotional baggage that survivors have to conceal in daily life. I dissect, peel, slice, unveil and reorganize extreme experiences in my studio practice to help me process the impacts.
