Dutch artist Ansuya Blom’s body of work explores the boundaries of the inner world of experience. Through various media, she unravels these complex relationships of humanity with itself, the other, and the outside world. It is an invitation to dig deeper than the skin, than the surface – to explore a different reality. When it comes to her drawings, collages, paintings, and films, thinking in categories is insufficient. Blom opposes this head-on, but with subtlety, making her works elusive, in that they destabilise any word attributed to them.
