Born in Uruguay, Adriana Rostovsky was trained as
an architect. Her art is informed and driven by a European history of
conservation, the need to not discard. Her artwork has been in group and solo
exhibitions in Uruguay, Holland, Fairfield County, CT, and New York City.
Currently she teaches Mixed Media at the 92nd Street Y in NY, where
she has recently been commissioned to create a piece for a major cultural
celebration. Adriana develops and conducts arts programming for children
focused on creating work with repurposed household objects.
While
of Uruguayan nationality, Adriana’s family roots are European. Her art is informed
and driven by the economic crisis in European history. During times of economic
turmoil, recycling was not a question of fashion but of survival.
“This historical influence has woven its
way into my work, sometimes in the name of a piece, other times in the emotions
reflected in my compositions. My years in Holland effects my
work, as did my architectural studies that focused on sustainability, and my
travels abroad. It is as if I re-read things past; walk again on the
same paths, to trace the stepping stones that have brought me to the here and
now”.
