First broadcast as part of our 31Women project which broadcast a new interview with a different woman every day in March 2023 as our month long celebration of International Women's Day. Lack of resources meant this project could not repeat for 2024, fingers crossed for enough sponsorships/subscribers in 2025.
Nina Stopar lives and works in Slovenia. Nina won a scholarship to study and work at Trinity Art Studios as part of her Masters in Abstract Painters at the University of Ljubljana. This scholarship saw her in London during the first lockdown, a process of unanticipated isolation. Nina says this as both "unfortunate and fortunate" for so much time alone in a studio impacted her art dramatically. In this interview we discuss at length her large canvas named 'Surrender' and what surrender means to her. Nina says, "If you do not surrender in life, there is no life, there is no art, there is no magic." We also discuss abstraction, the meaning of colors in art and life, the relationship between dance and fine arts in the work she produces, the changing role of gender identity across the generations in Slovenia - with a spotlight on her grandmother, her mother and herself - and her definition of what it means in today's world to be a fully embodied woman.
