Stanislava Kovalčíková
Stanislava Kovalčíková’s elegiac canvases are studies of painting itself. While drawing on perspectives of the human figure from past and present, she includes direct art historical references and styles in her work. Kovalčíková operates through a tradition of mythology, religion and mysticism. An exploration of the figure as an icon, the individual psychic experience portrayed in her work is always pointing to something larger—an archetype drawn from a collective narrative.
A solo exhibition of Kovalčíková’s work, Grotto, took place at the Belvedere 21, Vienna, in 2023.
