Nina Šumarac (Schumaratz) (b. Belgrade, ex-YU) is a Cyprus-based interdisciplinary artist with a mechanical engineering and visual art background.
Sumarac's artistic practice delves into the essence of global and bio-political narratives that shape our collective consciousness. Through a poetic and metaphorical lens, she critically examines and weaves together various social and political issues, challenging the embodiment of socially constructed stereotypes at both personal and collective levels. She aims to foster new ways of thinking and explore alternative perspectives. Drawing upon her passion for engineering, art, and philosophy, her current evolution revolves around intermedia art, and new technologies, while integrating (without limiting herself to any specific) the other artistic practices. With the desire to explore healing and empowerment, she is particularly interested in investigating the complexities of human existence in the contemporary era of rapidly advancing technologies. Her work examines ideologies about personal, social, and political boundaries, the intricate relationship between organic and AI organisms/algorithms, and the power dynamics emerging from these discussions.
Sumarac attended the Polytechnic University for New Technologies in New Belgrade, where she pursued studies in mechanical engineering and computer numerical control systems. She holds a BFA from Buckinghamshire New University in the United Kingdom and a Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art from Cyprus College of Art in Larnaca.
Sumarac is a multi-awarded artist. Her project presentations have been supported by the Ministry of Education and Culture in Cyprus, and her works have become part of the State Gallery of Contemporary Art Cyprus.
She has produced multiple individual exhibitions and participated in collective projects globally. Her projects have been featured in venues including the CICA Museum in South Korea, Winona State University USA, NeMe Arts Centre in Limassol, the Geumgang Nature Art Biennale, ALP MoCA Bacini dell'Arsenale Nord Venezia, Leopoldo Gotuzzo Art Museum Brazil, fu:bar Zagreb, Biennial Technology Turin, the Autonomous University of Mexico State UAEMEX, Stuttgart Film Festival and for the year 23/24 her works ware showing at three pavilions of the 6th Wrong Biennale.
For more than fifteen years, she has worked at Toonachunks Animation Studio. Additionally, she contributes as a team member to the Lab for Animation Research, a research centre affiliated with the Department of Fine Arts at Cyprus University of Technology.
