About the Artist
Vanessa Safavi (b. 1978, Lausanne) is a Swiss artist whose compelling practice is characterized by a sophisticated interplay of materials and an exploration of contemporary existential states. Her sculptures and installations often feature a diverse array of elements, from natural substances like wax and sand to industrial components and synthetic polymers, creating tactile and visually arresting forms. Safavi's oeuvre delves into themes of the human body, sensuality, domesticity, and the often-unseen anxieties of modern life. Her art meticulously constructs environments that invite viewers to consider the psychological charge of objects and materials, often blurring the lines between attraction and repulsion, comfort and discomfort, in a subtle yet potent manner.
