I am a Slovak visual artist living in Luxembourg. My artistic practice is deeply intuitive, shaped by the silent narratives that inhabit my imagination. Even when my photographs capture elements of reality, they are never a direct documentation of what I see.
Working often with self-portraiture, I use my own presence, both personality and body, as a vessel for expression. My imagery draws from forgotten histories, interwoven with the symbolic language of fairy tales and fragments of folk tradition.
I reinterpret archetypes and transpose them into contemporary contexts. My body becomes an extension of the spaces I inhabit, merging with motifs drawn from sacred iconography, such as saints and martyrs, while also engaging with elements of popular culture, including the visual codes of horror cinema.
At the centre of my work is a desire to evoke haunting, atmospheric shadows, presences that persist, unsettled, within the so-called civilized world. My images exist at the threshold between the sacred and the uncanny, offering a space where beauty and unease converge.
Alongside creating new works, I frequently revisit and transform my own photographs, altering prints, distorting them, and using the scanner as both a tool and a collaborator. These processes fracture and reshape the original image, allowing unexpected textures and new narratives to emerge from what once felt complete.
