An interest in architecture dictates the central motif in Suzana Brborović’s artistic practice, as she often questions how architecture speaks to the relationships between the individual and the social system. The artist creates voids by cutting paper, drawing forms of indeterminate, perforated architecture. These voids metaphorically represent empty spaces or the lack of true, real value. Paper as material also signifies fragility, breakability, and vulnerability, which aligns with the artist’s idea of decay and deterioration. The papers used for cutting were once her father’s architectural plans. For the Bones series, she sought inspiration from images of ruins in the Middle East, but their appearance becomes timeless in a world where war and natural disasters are increasingly happening on our doorstep, making it impossible to ignore them. Suzana Brborović graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana in 2013. During her studies, she received two significant awards: the Essl Art Award CEE for young artists from Central and South-Eastern Europe in 2011 and the Student Prešeren Award in 2012. She continued her postgraduate studies at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst (HGB) in Leipzig. In 2019, she received the Rihard Jakopič Recognition Award. Her works are included in private and public art collections. She has participated in various exhibitions in Slovenia and abroad.
