I am a UK based artist, originally from Slovakia. In my art I try to document our modern way of living, how we are affected by the society and cultural trends, and how these affect our thoughts, behaviour, and feelings towards ourselves and the others. My work is completed from memories and sketches as I try to explore and capture what is considered social and cultural norms and the way an individual represents themselves in everyday situations.

My practice is concerned with our current fracture point, as we substitute real place for virtual space. I enjoy investing in collaborative projects and also in a physically ‘detached’ mode of working, referencing schools of thought such as empiricism, encouraged by Eckhart Tolle’s writings. This creates duality in my work: the imagined and the real, the manipulated and the natural, the collective and the individual.

My collaborative projects and their objectives are stirred by our contemporary re-alignment with Romantic values: the irony of collective isolation in the wake of COVID-19.

Natural and administered regeneration has also become a prominent theme in my work as I have recently explored the democracy of art, often overlooked by our ‘practical’ and private worlds.
