Berta-Blanca T. Ivanow
What are the origins of your creation?
My sculptures are born in the dawn of silence.That moment of quietness and connection that welcomes the breath of creation.
As Simone de Beauvoir said, were you born as a woman or did you become a woman?
I, truthfully, learn how to be a woman everyday. And it’s such a beautiful mission; to rediscover the power within me and recognise that feeling that unite me with all women.
‘My sculptures are born in the dawn of silence. That moment of quiteness and conection that welcomes the breath of creation.’
What would you say to a woman who think to become an artist?
Be true to yourself and listen to your inner voice, that will guide you and give you strength to accomplish your dreams. We´re here to fullfil our role in life which is to spread love through our actions, which involves work. For me, life makes no sense if I can´t express who I am through my art. That allows me to connect with others, heal wounds, appreciate what Mother Earth provides us with and experiment an inherent spiritual growth.
What is for you to be free? How do you experience freedom?
Freedom for me is a state of mind, that precise moment l am not attached to emotions and there’s a clarity in mind. That feeling of peacefulness that allows me to act freely and be liberated of the weight of past or limited thoughts.
Who is your biggest Muse?
Nature.
