Zuzana Petrakova

Zuzana Petrakova (b. 1983) She works with painting, predominantly with oils. Working with canvas pushes her to dive into her psyche and connect to the outer world at once. Zuzana’s primary focus is investigating the expressive forms and nuances of an intimate relationship. Each work contains a multitude of intense moments, feelings and experiences. Relationships, as well as solitude, are mirrors of the human soul. Searching for oneself and subsequently creating one’s identity are fascinating subjects for her. Visually her works evolved from years of exploring abstract painting. Usually, she is working simultaneously on more paintings, layering paint on canvas and allowing work to gradually reveal itself. Conscious and slow work with a brush allows her to be present in a moment.

Previously working in different fields, creative work has become her core focus and she has settled down in visual arts. She enjoys sharing her vision and wishes to continue her life journey as an artist. Zuzana currently lives in Bratislava, Slovakia.

About Work

Petrakova presents a series of oil paintings and oil sketches called Garden of Eden. In this series, she delves into the intimacy of solitude, as well as romantic relationships. She portrays the subjective world existing within the moment, its beauty and tenderness. Her idea of the Garden of Eden is about creating paradise in current space and time. The ongoing situation shows us the temporariness of life and to value the simple things we have in our lives.
