art works

togetherness are drawings that playfuly explore, observe and contemplate the phenomenon of togetherness. Togetherness as the quality of being with each other, the power of sharing and listening, slowness, care, trust, compassion, connection, softness and ease, as the ability to just be, without reason. The experimental drawings were created as part of the international festival of improvisation and instant composition of dance and music Immediatus in 2022, and as a free continuation of the theme, new ones are still being created.

A unique small drawing by Slavomíra Ondrušová captures everything around us, the themes of (self) love, discovering life's joys and oneself. Great expression on a small surface, with the author's typical lightness and kind humor. Each drawing is a unique original.

"I learned about the Para from my Slovak friends, I listen to their songs and I like the PARAgraphics project. I was happy when they invited me to this collaboration. I really appreciate being a part of it. I worked with a text about my hometown Kyiv. Now my country is going through a very difficult period and I ask that you always remember this and support Ukraine in our fight against evil and for freedom."

Oksana Sadovenko is an artist who comes from Kyiv (UA) and has been living and working in Bratislava for the last two years. She is a recent graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts. She is mostly engaged in painting, but she also works with sculpture and objects. She exhibits in Slovakia and abroad and her work is characterized by an expressive and intense approach. Personal, historical and cultural contexts intertwine in her large-format paintings. She pays the most attention to the image of a pigeon and creates her own phantasmagoric universes.

Why this verse?

"It carries a strong statement about the state of our society. I am dedicated to collective and personal memory, which I reflect through motifs of the urban and natural environment with an emphasis on the phenomenon of demolition of buildings or small architectural elements in public space, especially those that were created during the previous regime."

Natália Šimonová graduated from the AU in Banská Bystrica, where she is currently continuing her doctoral studies. In her work, she is dedicated to collective and personal memory, where she thematically depicts motifs of urban architecture and its structures, such as playgrounds from the times of socialism. She is dedicated to the so-called expanded painting that extends beyond the boundaries of the medium in the form of spatial installation. She uses combinations of classical and non-classical media, traditional and unconventional artistic techniques, and especially the rust that is characteristic for her work.

"I chose the verse 'We fly to the end of our sky, which resembles love' because it reminds me of beautiful moments - and there are never enough of them in life."

The Slovak artist studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava. In her work, she repeatedly thematizes the cycle of growth and decay in nature, through a layered tangle of media and means of expression. In a sense, she constantly escapes and returns to painting, which is her original background, although she increasingly penetrates space with her works. Without words, with intuitive and experimental methods, she tells a continuous story about the fragility of non-human actors: plants, insects and entire biotopes.
