About the author:
Silvie Kořistková is a Czech visual artist whose work straddles the line between abstraction and figuration. She focuses on landscape as an internal state – a space of memory, experience, and perception that can manifest through abstract forms, portraits, and animal motifs. Her paintings are not descriptions of a specific reality but records of process, tension, and transformation.
She primarily works with acrylics, often directly with her fingers, in direct contact with the material. Structure, layering, and intuitive decision-making during painting play an important role in her work. The resulting paintings carry significant weight, the trace of the process, and the physical presence of color.
Her work features abstract landscapes, portraits, and animal figures, which are not understood as separate motifs but as part of a broader space. The landscape here functions as a carrier of memory and internal experience, while the figure – human or animal – becomes its natural component.
