Yoana Tuzharova

"In her light installations, Yoana Tuzharova (born 1986) plays with the boundaries of perception of color, light and space. Tuzharova's superimposition of surfaces in the image cites a sculptural approach, while the monochromatic color surfaces and colored light of her installations retain a painterly character," writes Maren Klinkhammer (Insel Hombroich Foundation) about the artist's work.
