About the artist:
Silvie Kořistková is a Czech visual artist whose work blurs the lines between abstraction and figuration. She focuses on landscape as an inner state – a space of memory, experience, and perception that can manifest through abstract form, portraits, and animal motifs. Her paintings are not descriptions of concrete reality but rather 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 the painting process play a significant role in her work. The resulting paintings convey 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 independent motifs but as part of a broader space. Here, the landscape serves as a carrier of memory and inner experience, while the figure – human or animal – becomes its natural component.
