Abigail Iovino is a figurative artist whose work is characterized by bold lines, expressive color, and intimate poses. By elevating the natural female form to the status of aesthetic ideal, Iovino’s art exalts the untamed beauty of the true self. Concentrating mostly on nudes, her work explores the boundaries between the spiritual and the profane. In Iovino’s nudes, sensual desire is not merely about gratification, but a profound, transgressive force breaking down boundaries of the self and connecting us to the primal, sacred aspects of existence. The softness of the body becomes a metaphor for vulnerability, integration, and the life-affirming power of the feminine spirit.
At the University of Texas at Austin, she obtained a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with a certificate in Computational Methods and graduated from UT Austin’s Plan II Honors Program with a concentration in comparative literature and analytic philosophy. (Math CV; Humanities CV)
In her spare time, she nurtures a passion for the arts and literature, with Friedrich Nietzsche, Hermann Hesse, and Milan Kundera ranking among her favorite authors.
