My work explores the complexities of communication and how messages are transmitted, disrupted, and ultimately transformed. I am particularly interested in how analogue and digital systems introduce distortion, or "noise", into visual language.
These disruptions create errors, but rather than seeing them as flaws, I see them as opportunities. The resulting visual structures, unintended patterns, broken signals, and misalignments offer new forms of beauty and narrative. These so-called errors become the foundation for my aesthetic. They allow me to reimagine the original message and develop a personal visual language rooted in colour, repetition, and coded form. In this transformation, I find light, optimism, and a sense of renewal, qualities that I hope resonate in each finished piece. In my large-scale painting HOPE: Spotlights, I combine multiple individual canvases into one unified composition. Each panel is built, then broken down, often through a process of struggle and reinvention. This layered construction reflects both the chaos of communication and the clarity that can emerge from it.
The circular forms and bright accents become symbols of focus and positivity, ‘spotlights’ within the noise. My work is rooted in process and concept, but it is also deeply visual. The versatility of painting allows for endless variations and interpretations. Each piece is designed to engage the viewer, inviting them to pause, decode, and connect. Acrylic on canvas allows me to work dynamically, layering textures, colours, and shapes that evolve throughout the process. Each work is a reflection of transformation, both visual and conceptual. Painting, for me, is a fluid medium for exploring structure, disruption, and ultimately, resolution. My work offers not just a visual statement but an ongoing narrative: one that speaks to resilience, reinterpretation, and the power of seeing beauty in the imperfect.
I am a Slovakian-born British artist based in the West Midlands.
In my paintings, I translate the fragmented noise of modern life into abstract compositions, echoing the glitches and distortions as on digital screens. Inspired by communication errors, signal breakdowns, and broadcast interference, I reimagine visual disruptions as a new language of possibility where error becomes form, and chaos becomes rhythm.
Working primarily with acrylic paint, I construct colorful geometric sequences through rhythmic brushstrokes and layered lines. The resulting patterns reference white noise structures, visual static, and algorithmic systems, while also holding a sense of improvisation. My process often begins with sensory observation re-interpreted through painting techniques, creating new aesthetics with tactile mark-making.
My work is informed by personal experiences of illness and recovery, as well as my professional background in healthcare. I adhere to the 6 Cs of Nursing which are fundamental to ethical and empathetic nursing practice.
I've found a parallel set of values in my artistic life, a concept I call the 6 Cs of the Artist:
Creativity - connect and express self, experiment in various settings
Collaboration - communicate with fellow artists, and others from different fields to cross boundaries for new findings
Compassion - create art that reflects society and resonates with the world, simply care
Courage - be strong to step outside of your comfort zone and confront fear and rejection
Commitment - dedicate self being and artist and develop consistently
Competence - learn and improve technical skills and advance your general knowledge effectively
These principles shape my practice, both in how I create and how I connect with others through art.
I aim to evoke emotional resonance through motion and repetition. As viewers engage with the kinetic energy of my surfaces, sometimes dizzying, sometimes meditative, I invite them to experience a shared sense of imbalance and, eventually, a quiet return to equilibrium.
My work has been exhibited in both solo and group shows in the UK, Germany, Slovakia, Czechia, Hungary and Serbia, and is designed to be experienced in physical space, where its scale, texture, and rhythm can be fully felt. I hold a master's degree in fine art from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, Slovakia, and a master's degree in art from Birmingham City University, United Kingdom.
