PARAgraphic by Natália Šimonová

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.
