Giovina is a Canadian visual artist whose work explores the thresholds between the visible and hidden. Through symbolic self‑portraiture and narrative painting, she examines how identity fractures, reforms, and remembers itself across a lifetime. Her practice blends emotional realism with mythic undertones, creating images that hold the tension between vulnerability, lineage, and transformation.
Her recent bodies of work include an evolving self‑portrait lineage and Circle of Life, a large‑scale narrative painting that gathers multiple versions of herself alongside figures that embody ancestry, innocence, and the quiet ruptures that shape a life. Through these works, Giovina constructs a layered cosmology that invites viewers into the quiet spaces where memory and revelation meet.
Her work has been exhibited in Edmonton, Alberta and internationally in Venice, Italy. She lives and works in British Columbia.
