Elisa Insua

January 10, 2020 by Arseny Vesnin in 2020, Art, Argentina, Portfolios, Sculpture, Spain

Born and raised as artist in Buenos Aires, Elisa Insua continues her upcycle practice after moving to Madrid

“Economic studies are based on a series of basic principles: one of them states that, for any given individual, “the more, the better”. My work tries to push this axiom to the limit of excess and abundance, in order to tense it, question it or even defy it.”

“My pieces are about desire, opulence, ostentation and luxury. I apply the concept of the “hedonic treadmill” (the tendency of humans to return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite increases in wealth or the achievement of major goals) and the straight-forward myth of King Midas and his Golden Touch. Social ascent, the “American Dream”, economic inequality, endless irresponsible consumption and the effects of capitalism are also recurring themes.” text from MTArt Agency
