3 AUGUSTA ATLA works visually in all mediums of art. The artwork of Augusta Atla explores emotional life of humanity, our representations and traditions of psychology, our existential conditions, our collective taboos and our strife for Survival, Love, Joy and Hope. She believes that art can aspire to keep a positive spirit for our look upon the future and art may preserve love for Life. Augusta Atla s artwork grows on a hope to aspire to create intimacy between people, to visually give a language to our rich and complex hearts. The artwork deals with emotions in order to further an awareness of inner life, on both sexes and all sexualities, the inter-relationships of humanity and self introspection. The artwork of Augusta Atla is also developed through an ongoing interest in representation of the female figure and sensitivity of the body, both as a cultural idea and research on contemporary gender issues and sexualities, and on issues in art history as combating the normalised idea in painting and sculpture of the female figure as an idealised and/or pleasurable object. Because she is a woman artist, she finds it very necessary to comment on the patriarchy in art history. AA does not want to produce another ideal of women, nor does she want to reject gender altogether theoretically, so she is in some kind of limbo where pain of history and heterosexual social awareness is combined with a hope for a freer understanding of the body and a more complex psychological imagery with deeper emotions than that of pop culture, of art history, of religious imagery. The artworks in general celebrate our emotional inner life and the works try to explore human happiness or the lack of it. Augusta Atla s fundamental point of view on Art is that it is a free platform of speech, that is Art promotes the expression of life with freedom and awareness.
