Lucia Hornakova Cernayova

In my works there is a fusion of themes of home, family, background on life, landscapes and the theme "UNplaces" - descripting and looking for empty, depleted places, their definition and materialization by various means.
I perform on these themes using various media - paintings, installations, objects, photographs and videos.
Country and man mean to me mutually affecting units, entities. Mentally and physically. For us, reality – visible and tangible objects – are only different densities, bonds of molecules in substances. On contact, there are forming invisible intersections of body, objects and space.
My works are in the Luciano Benetron Collection and in several private collections in the US, Slovakia and Czech Republic
