ARTIST STATMENT

My name is Elisa Shpanova, I am an artist from Moscow. In my practice, I explore the themes of temporality and the vulnerability of human nature. My works are a visual reflection on the fragility of memory, the body, and identity—an attempt to halt the passage of time and capture the fleetingness of a moment.

At the core of my practice is the awareness of my own mortality and the fragility of human existence, which for me is a source of anxiety as well as contemplation. I use different media to explore the transience of life more broadly, seeking to find acceptance and peace within it.
