Iva Laterza Obuljen: Trajectory

Iva Laterza Obuljen: Trajectory

Dubrovnik-born visual artist Iva Laterza Obuljen (b. 1986) earned degrees in art and architecture at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and refined her practice at New York’s School of Visual Arts and on the MA Fine Art programme at Goldsmiths, London, focusing on painting and photography.

At Materia she presented a canvas from the Trajectory series, using abstraction as a tool for introspectively mapping layered narratives – personal, historical and spatial.

“The starting point is never entirely clean, emptied of meaning and memory... In reality every new beginning is never completely a beginning.”
– Jelena Tamindžija Donnart

Her canvases are not blank surfaces but layered spaces of prior traces and possibilities, “windows for departures whose final destinations are never predetermined”. Laterza Obuljen approaches painting experimentally and physically, building an image like a muscle – through strain, pauses and an inner rhythm.

Displayed within Materia, the work from Trajectory invites an introspective reading, subtly embodying the brand’s philosophy of slowing down, being present and deepening connection with one’s inner currents.
