We perceive the notion of time in different ways. Scientists, philosophers, writers and artists have been trying to make sense of it for centuries, yet we still do not actually know how it works. We travel in time through our dreams and memories, reliving versions of moments past. Can we bring them into the future? Or is everything happening simultaneously? Is all just one?
Exploring perceptions of time fascinates me and brings new discoveries and problems every day. My practice involves travelling through memories, especially from childhood and constructing pieces from found objects, both natural and manmade and from ephemera that help to trigger a memory of a particular moment. Preserving these recollections in artwork through various media can take me back in even more vivid ways. I have found my home. This topic is a rich source of ideas and inspiration for me and one I will continue to explore today, in the past, the present and into the future.
In my home land Slovakia I studied Theatrical Costume Design and Production and when I moved to Scotland I studied and later taught Graphic Design. I have just completed a BA in Art & Design and will complete BA Honours in Visual Arts in 2012. I have had a number of successful exhibitions in Scotland as well as in Slovakia and sold paintings through galleries, to a commercial bank and to a number of private clients.
Currently I am in the final year of BA Hons in Visual Arts at North Glasgow College/Leeds University. My work is eveloving towards sculpture although I still work in painting, drawing and printining medias. The concept of my work is based on the perception of time, memory and time travel from scientific, cultural as well as nostalgic point of view. The feedback I have been receiving is very positive and there are new possibilities opening up in the future for renown artist residencies and taking part in Venice Biennale 2013 through an American University which I am really looking forward to.
