Renāte Feizaka

Renāte Feizaka (b. 1987) is a visual artist that primarily works with sculpture and video. She holds a BA degree from the Icelandic University of the Arts, the Fine Arts department and she has been an active participant in art shows in Iceland, where she lives and works. Her work spans between the autobiographical and the historical, as well as the political because of its complexity through a comic-tragic perspective. While often finding inspiration in personal experiences, there is still a desire in her practice to erode the distinction between herself, the identities she is assuming and the viewer. Thus, while herself is almost always featured as a performer in her work, she aspires to distance her own personality from it by fabricating the consciousness of a non-existing persona.
