 In the "Portable" series in the 1990s, she creates works she calls "„collages“", canvases of standardized format entirely covered by even paint strokes freed from expressivity and extra significance, thereby approaching more analytical painting.Reducing the visual language to a colour-based confrontation of two colours is a way of reflecting on the image category and emphasizing its objectivity and portability as the title itself suggests.After expressionism and colourism in the first half of the eighties, during her stay in New York (1986-93) Nina Ivančić gravitated to the apersonal abstract-geometric mode of neo-geo, and in the 1990s she produced a series of paintings called "Ghosts", silhouettes of ships in flat and rigid black acrylic on a white canvas base.
