ISKRA VELITCHKOVA

Iskra Velitchkova (b.1988) is a Madrid-based artist whose practice investigates the evolving relationship between humans and machines. With a background in technology and artificial intelligence, where she worked as a visual thinker, she now channels that expertise into her artistic research. Her approach blends digital and physical techniques, resulting in generative works that straddle both the mechanical and the human. Bringing together her Balkan origins with the influence that Mediterranean culture has had on her over her history, she uses this context to build upon her work. Her work is based on mixed techniques: she explores new media combining digital formats and physical nature. She uses generative technology, artificial neural networks, and plastic arts, she plots on canvas and plays with clay.

She has exhibited internationally in cities such as London, Paris, Milan, New York, Miami, Singapore, Mexico City, and Berlin, collaborating with notable galleries like Kate Vass, Bright Moments, Feral File, and Unit London, as well as participating in renowned art fairs such as Art Basel. Her work has been auctioned twice at Sotheby’s New York and at Christie’s New York in collaboration with Gucci.
