I was born in Slovakia but over the years, my travel-exploratory soul brought me to Sweden. Stockholm has been my home since my mid twenties and it’s the place where my professional artistic career is sited. I work with large-scale, site-specific installations with a dark, tactile aesthetic where I often use unconventional and recycled materials. My early art training as a printmaker influenced extensively my practice, which is now based on the intersection between three and two dimensional forms, sound and light. The artworks emerge in dialogue with the context and hidden energies of specific sites and try to materialize our perception of them.
In my work, I explore the intricate relationship between the human body and spaces it inhabits — how architecture and urban forms inscribe themselves into the body and shape its movements and perceptions. With a particular fascination with underground and protective-like spaces, I see the urban landscape as a living organism in constant transformation. I strive to open a dialogue on what it means to exist in spaces that are both protective and oppressive, simultaneously serving as sanctuaries and constraints. To summarize my main focus, through theoretical research and experimental artistic practice, I seek to understand how freedom and limitation materialize in our spatial experiences.
I see my installations as bodily formations in a state of change – fragmented, expanding, sometimes on the verge of destruction and collapse. They embody a suspended movement, an embodied flow where time seems to freeze rather than progress. In this in-between space, the boundary between past, present, and future is blurred and the definition where the body ends and space begins is dissolved. Through the interplay of material, form, and light, my goal is to create a threshold between reality and fiction, where there is neither a beginning nor an end—only this fragile but extremely harmonious space, and us.
