Slovak Renaissance

"I am seeking to renew interest in traditional art, offering a modern view of precious cultural heritage to today’s generations.. I aim to see new way of communicating concepts, renewing forgotten and linking it with symbols and cultures all over the world where I see no borders and limits for mutual understanding and inspiration. Simplicity is crucial. I honor aesthetics and harmoniously combine the objects, light, the models in a unity." I deliver “from the shadows” this multicolored image through the beauty of Slovak women in floral wedding headbands and head-dresses. I also see the patterns and decorations as a reflection of respect, esteem and humility towards nature as well as women, their beauty, majesty and strength. Parts of the folk costumes are originals which I found in private collections from various regions of Slovakia. Some are 200 years old.
