During her work in Propaganda’s common studio, Nutsa Esebua focused on translating the events and experiences into paintings. Those that occur in our real and daily life randomly and present a single or multiple act narrative. The desire of the artist was to bring those events or paintings alive into a different space. A starting point of this process is a painting, but it has the potential of transforming it into an object in space.
