Through painting optics, I immersed myself in direct to archaeological research of socialist playgrounds located in Slovakia.
The central motif of the paintings results from the depiction of the state of neglected socialist playgrounds, the aesthetics of their destruction. I deal with a selected motif of public space, which is part of personal and social memory. I focus on thorough research of painting material, structures and work with non-classical painting materials as well as rust. I choose significant constructions of children's playgrounds, rust in the paintings represents a time period, but also numerous overpainting of constructions with paint, when just under the paint there is often rust. The rust in my paintings is procedural, similar to the one we see on playgrounds. It falls, grows, it is a process painting. I complement the rust with classic painting materials, such as acrylic or pastel painting.
