About the author

"My soul speaks through the brush..." Discovering the urge to create something begins with a journey into the inner self. We speak to our minds and search for the spark of that which captures us and will not let go. For Silvia Kořistkova, the path to the self leads through colours, shapes and structures. Her dreams press their faces into the canvases where they are locked for eternity. Silvie has been painting and creating since she was a child, but entered the art world as a visual artist in 2018 with a desire to share her paintings with a wider audience. Most often she creates abstract geometric paintings, which she sees as an exploration, a search for harmony and release. By painting abstractions, time stops for her and the space around her merges with the space within. The abstractions are therefore a testimony of a conversation with her subconscious and therefore appear liberated and balanced. The theme of "woman" in her work is also not left behind and becomes a natural starting point in observing her surroundings. Her series of nudes "In the Moon's Woods" is dedicated to the study of our innerfeelings, passions and insecurities, stripped of the robes of artifice and make-believe that we wear during the day. Body language does not lie. Therefore, she decided to embody moments in which we reflect not only on the object under observation, but also on ourselves. At a time when everyone can find sex inspiration on the erotic sites of the Internet, the painter Silvie Kořistková comes up with an interesting confrontation. Her collection of paintings, Gentle Curves, is based on the traditional concept of the female nude, found since the Renaissance in the works of Michelangelo Buanorroti, who which brings together European artistic traditions from antiquity through the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, or in Sandro Botticelli's painting "The Birth of Venus", which expresses an almost dreamlike conception of the female body. It is her original take on this genre that brings the viewer an aesthetic experience. Her work on personalities, especially musicians, portrayed in a metallicpigments, where, for example, brass instruments glitter with real 24-carat gold applied to the structure. The characters thus come to life and emerge from the canvas in 3D. In February 2023, her exhibition GALLERY STEINER VIENNA took place in Austria. In 2023, she participated in the XXVth PREMIO INTERNATIONALE D'ARTE in Italy, where she received an international jury award for her work.
