Artwork description
Using cooler tones of blues and greys, with splashes of purple and red, in this painting Bukovcakova represents a more mellow organic structure comprised of petals, sprouting blooms and rock formations. A red calla lily-shaped flower elegantly sweeps down through the centre of the canvas into the centre of a blue ring of abstract natural matter. The dappled rock formations are discretely and minutely marbled with pink, flesh tones, again alluding to Bukovcakova’s penchant for giving these natural elements humanistic characteristics. The interwoven connection between all the structures describes how intimately nature is entangled, just like human relationships, and must not be disrupted any further.
Kristina Bukovcakova
Kristina Bukovcakova is a Slovakian artist working and living in Bratislava, Slovakia.
She studied the Academy of Arts in Bánska Bystrica first, and then she completed her Master’s degree at the Academy of Arts, Architecture, and Design in Prague. She only works in painting medium, which often results in large-scale abstract paintings with a recognizable natural element. In her work, Bukovcakova meanly deals with the relationship of man and nature. Her main subject of matter is landscape, environment, humanity. She is concerned about global environmental problems such as climate change while bound to a romanticized idea of our nature. Her paintings become expressive depictions of her emotions, feelings, and anxieties associated with global environmental problems.
