PARAgraphic by Monika Mikyšková

"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.
