Performance Artist
Nina Dotti is a Venezuelan artist, based in Miami, FL. Being far away from her dear country, but visiting often, helped me to focus on the identity issues that the Venezuelans confront, and inspired many reflections that influenced her work.
Since the beginning of her career, she explored common social, and political issues as the influence of the religions, the role of women in the society, prostitution, violence, and discrimination, especially to GLBT, and women – the femicide as a clear demonstration of power, and patriarchal control over women’s lives, their freedom, dignity, and sexuality.
While she was doing many trips to visit her country, she made different statements, and instead of doing them in a rebel way, Dotti used active protest channels, with irony and sense of humor. Far away from the Venezuelan stereotypes – Miss pageants, baseball, oil, and the socialism of the 21st Century, her relationship with Venezuela became more complex, as she questioned it socially, and politically.
She started to threaten the pre-established icons of power supposed to be venerated. Dotti shuffled them, and made references between these icons, creating creative elements full of irony and sarcasm to inspire unexpected reflections transferred to the American culture.
Nina Dotti art work is supported by the versatile use of diverse materials, applied in installations, sculpture, photography, and video. Her message is highly critic, intimate, and personal.
She has presented her art many times in and out of Venezuela since she started in 2004. Nina Dotti´s work is neo conceptual, nurtured by a duchampian influence, and pop sub realistic aesthetic.
The work in sculpture and installation is characterized by the use of non-traditional materials, and domestic items, as well as political messages. Her references to the social-political conflict in Venezuela are mixed with political global issues, as sexuality, gender feminism, and even menopause. Dotti uses the irony and sarcasm in popular idioms and expressions coming from her native language Spanish, to bring sense of humor to her pieces. This way she breaks the standard limitations imposed by the society.
