Biography

Lucia Kralikova was born in Czech Republic in the 1998 and now she is a  student of the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague.

The very young artist ranges from pictorial to digital research, alternating with installation and a variety of materials, methods and perspectives. Strongly influenced by the scenography studies of the Academy of Musical Arts in Prague, she focuses in particular on the relationship between work of art and viewer and on the emotions that the work of art can evoke. Since her very first works, Lucia has focused on themes related to the body of women, ranging from still life, where she paints small personal objects, which together define the person, self-portraits and portraits of other women.It focuses in particular on the surrounding space, on the things and body language that define the most intimate space of the female being, with all its contradictions, difficulties, bonds and beauty.

Lucia Kralikova enjoys exploring the details of her life and sharing their most intimate moments. The fact that she is still studying painting doesn’t mean that painting is the only form of expression she uses.  Lucia’s work often deals with issues related to female bodies, intimacy, and hedonism. In her latest works, she experiments with cording and a technique she learned from her grandmother.
