About

Dominika Dobiášová is an outstanding representative of the emerging generation of painters. Already during her studies, she was able to constantly surprise us with the fresh language of her Neo-Romantic stylization, intricate compositions, and deft work with materials. Her pre-Raphaelite and surrealistic figures appear in dreamlike scenes, linking the personal and the subconscious with current social issues. She focuses on the psychological make-up of her characters, and through allusions to biblical Eve, Renaissance Venus, and medieval witch hunts, one can read in her work more mature feminist themes and various conflicting emotions associated with the long-standing exploitation of women. She complements her paintings with original wooden frames, and her installations are often accompanied by blown glass objects and hand-crafted pedestals.

*1996, works and lives in Brno, Czechia
