The Analogiques<\/i> series (1976) was an attempt by Nausica Pastra<\/b> to orient her works towards the objective and minimal language of geometry and focus on creating a rational system of relationships based on logical analysis and the repetitive structures method. The drawings include handwritten notes, annotations, shapes, ratios and measurements, diagrams and grids. These elements helped her translate abstract concepts into forms and describe the way her work took shape with clarity and purity. Her methodology was based on the notion of seriality and aimed at producing new structural units. All her drawings allude to analytical austerity and systematic design and place weight on the idea and the methodology that precede the execution. Pastra condensed an implicit philosophical process through her work whereby the conceptual associations that emerge from the object of the theoretical analysis identify with the art practice.<\/p>\n

Biography<\/p>\n

Nausica Pastra (1921\u20132011) was born in Kalamata. She took sculpture courses at the Sommerakademie in Salzburg (1957) and the Akademie der bildenden K\u00fcnste in Vienna (1957\u20131962). She also studied Sociology of Art at the \u00c9cole Pratique des Hautes \u00c9tudes in Paris (1967\u20131973). In 1963, she moved to Paris and experimented with new materials like polyester. Within the context of abstraction, her art used simplified forms and purely geometric shapes that resulted in compositions \/ architectural propositions. She was interested in the poetic potential of mathematical systems. She created formal sequences based on the circle and the square, examining the possibilities that emerge from the intersection of those shapes and their interrelations. From her research, entitled Analogiques 1<\/i>, came Synectron<\/i>; a new form, followed by the series Analogiques 2<\/i> (1979\u20131982) and Analogiques 3 <\/i>(1982\u20131986). Gradually culminating in the 1990s, her sculptural work explored more dynamic associations, highlighting the fluidity of the three-dimensional space. She created works for public spaces, was honoured with awards, and received distinctions. She presented her work in twenty solo exhibitions in Greece (since 1977) and internationally (Austria, France, Italy, and the Netherlands). She participated in group exhibitions as well as international art events.<\/p>\n
