SAVANA BURDICK-PEREZ

is an Argentine-Estadounidense interdisciplinary artist and designer.

Her work encompasses the subject matters of untamed womanhood and feminism while expressing flamboyant and punk visual themes. She is currently exhibiting her newest series “HYSTERIA”.

She is most known for her South Beach project “Booty Riot”, a collection of highly color saturated and unique portraits made from paint impressions of her body. The series was later accompanied by performance art pieces like “Lydia Loses It”, from which her current blurry photographic acrylic painting series “HYSTERIA” is derived from.

“HYSTERIA” explores the complex dynamics of visibility, agency, and vulnerability in digital spaces, drawing from personal experience as a woman navigating exposing myself online. By painting images of blurred photography, the work reflects the tension between exposure and anonymity, power and objectification, autonomy and spectacle.

The images originate from the performance piece, Lydia Loses It, in which I begin in a corporate professional outfit, strip down, paint my body, and use it as a tool to create a painting. The act challenges the intersections of professionalism, self-expression, and commodification of the body, questioning the ways in which women’s bodies are consumed, censored, and repurposed—both online and offline.

By abstracting the figure, this series resists the clarity that digital spaces often demand, instead offering a fragmented, shifting representation of self. It invites viewers to reconsider assumptions about agency, labor, and the performative nature of identity in an era of hyper-visibility.
