Summary
Pepa Ivanova is a Brussels-based artist, researcher and educator with over 12 years of practice at the intersection of art, science and transmedia. Holding a PhD in Visual and Performing Arts, her work investigates narratives of evolution and coexistence between Earth and the Sun, blending practice-based research with scientific data visualization. She directs pepaivanova.com and leads the project-based initiative "pepa ivanova's unstoppable inventing," bringing conceptual projects from lab-scale research to public-facing artworks and teaching. As a lecturer and researcher she has translated solar and scientific datasets into creative processes, exploring how data can become material for storytelling and critique. Her background in sculpture, porcelain and glass design gives her work a tactile, material sensibility that complements its conceptual and data-driven dimensions. Fluent in multidisciplinary collaboration, she frequently operates where art practice becomes a form of inquiry into ecological and technological entanglements.
