About
In her practice, Eva Fajčíková (1990,) explores chaos, subversion, and entropy as forces shaping the fragile link between woman and nature. She is drawn to thresholds — spaces where identities blur and the Other emerges as both mirror and mystery.
Influenced by the ecofeminist and multispecies theories of Donna Haraway, Susan Griffin, and others, as well as Catherine Keller’s constructive theology, the artist seeks to dissolve the boundaries between the human and the non-human, the body and the wilderness, the visible and the invisible.
Her work unfolds as a series of visual and sensory rituals — paintings, olfactory installations, and assemblages in which mythology, folklore, and spirituality coalesce into a personal cosmology. Female archetypes appear not as subjects but as presences: carriers of memory, silence, and transformation.
Each project begins with philosophical and material research, evolving through intuitive experiment. Fajčíková works with oil on paper, dried mushrooms, acacia thorns, and synthetic molecules — materials that resist control and speak of decay, renewal, and permeability. Through scent and matter, she creates experiences that bypass language, confronting the viewer with a world where the sacred and the visceral merge into one trembling, living image.
