Every year the Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum features works by students graduating from the Master of Fine Arts program in the College of Communication, Architecture + The Arts at Florida International University.
This year, the museum is featuring the work of Dianna Grace and Elizaveta Kolesnikova. Grace is informed by immersive spaces and engages in innovative experimentation with materials. Kolesnikova s current work presents Peruvian cultures and traditions. This annual exhibition is a part of the Frost Art Museum s continuing support of FIU s art curriculum.
Experimentation has led me to my current “portals” concept. The energy within my work focuses on movement and space that represent gateways, entrances, or doorways. I am fascinated with the concept of traversing dimensions through openings and creating a moment for the viewer. My sculptural installations consume the viewer using light and shadow to create an engulfing environment.
