Katarina Babska Malikova

The main theme of my work is simply a body in the water. It is usually swimmers and their body positions just surrounded by the water, the deformation of the reflections on the surface and the connection between water and the body.

I demonstrate my intentions by using a brush dipped in an ink – while time to time it just flicks and splashes! – and leaves indelible marks. Aquarelle offers me blending and fading-over colours and parallels – water infiltrates together with colour, just like body infiltrates and blends in with water. Acryl on the other side, lets me confess and disperse the movement by moving the brush along.
