Art for Relief II

Inspired by Female Surrealists, Kora's style is a combination of vibrant colours, symbolism and disturbing scenes that represent dreamlike situations. Her work is also autobiographical, relying on nostalgia and memories from her childhood and teenage years. The analysis of these memories leads her to face a stage of realisation in which these past moments now have a different meaning. There is an encounter between “the past self” and “the present self”, in which certain traumas or experiences are revealed. In her paintings, Kora embodies these scenes through the recurrent use of genderless characters. They portray us as human beings without judgement, at our most free and self-expressive.
