Silvia Krivošíková


Silvia Krivošíková (1976, Zvolen) lives and works in Vienna. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava (Associate Prof. Juraj Gavula and Prof. Vladimír Popovič) and at the Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade do Porto in Porto (Prof. Pedro Tudela).
In Silvia Krivošíková’s mystical and dreamy paintings and drawings, we follow fragments of her life. From the position of a mother, partner and friend, she depicts specific places and situations she has visited and experienced in the past. She copes with negative experiences, but also recalls pleasant moments. In her work, she purposely departs from realistic representation, combining slight modelling and a hint of real perspective with geometric decomposition and pure colour fields. The figures exist independently or interact with other figures. The works have a slow pace, and instead of using expressive dynamism, the artist gradually builds tension. She uses the symbolism of common objects, which makes them universal and comprehensible even outside of their personal context.
