Biography

Nevena Aleksovski (b. 1984) earned her degree in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Novi Sad (RS), in 2008, and furthered her academic journey with a Master's degree in Cultural Studies from the University of Ljubljana (SI), in 2014. She has showcased her work in numerous solo and group exhibitions, among others at ŠKUC (SI), RAVNIKAR (SI), Britta Rettberg (DE), MGLC (SI), Cukrarna (SI), P74 Gallery (SI), PrivatePrint (MK), NADA Villa Warsaw (PL), ECHORAUM (AT) as well as at various international art fairs including viennacontemporary, Artissima, ARCOmadrid, Art Rotterdam, Berlin Art Week, and others. In 2022 she published the book Melancholy of the Abandoned Lands, in collaboration with PrivatePrint Publishing, that tells the migration history of her family during Yugoslavia and after its dissolvement.

Her work investigates how subjectivity is shaped by land, displacement and historical transformation, situating individual experience within broader political and social contexts. Working from a feminist perspective, she addresses transgenerational memory, absence and erasure, foregrounding the often invisible structures and forms of labour embedded in familial and cultural narratives. Her practice reflects on the relationship between the intimate and the political, the private and the public, as well as on systems of dominance and subordination. Through painting, drawing, installation and the use of found objects, she develops a minimalist and fragmented visual language that emphasizes reduction, subtlety and conceptual clarity.


She is based in Ljubljana (SI) and is represented by RAVNIKAR Gallery.
