Veronika Opavská2006 - 2012 Academy of Fine Arts in BratislavaStudio Metal and Jewellery SML XL at prof. akad. arch Karol WeisslechnerAnnotation:I deal with the issue of image and jewellery as an autonomous artistic artefact. I break down the boundaries between free and appliedart.I do not create the visuality of my paintings by a mere impressive mixing of colours forming a unified image at a distance, BUT the bearers of theseof colour patches are the plastic layers of coloured pieces of canvas, which I form into the surface of the painting and then cut and trim.In this way, I achieve not only a specific colour palette, but also an autonomous plasticity.I work with painting as if I were working on a piece of jewellery. I cut into it! And in doing so, I create the colour facets of the painting. Later, I use the scraps to create jewellery,which I call "jewelry objects". For my work, I take two basic painting attributes (canvas and paint) as my starting material.These I integrally manipulate, dare I say, into entirely new interactions. The cut, painted canvas in the surface acts as a kind of surgicalstudy of living tissue. Immersing oneself in its proximity, its structure, establishes a pleasing visual haptic sensation, full of hollows, hollows, bumps andcolors, just as the reflections of human skin change throughout the day due to the changing hues and nuances of the sun's colors.
