Saša Makarová

The Austrian-Slovakian painter Saša Makarová approaches her subjects through a colour-intensive, expressive visual language: self-confident female figures and the game of seduction, which embodies eroticism and danger at the same time.

Vita

With her expressive and colour-intensive works, Saša Makarová transports us into her pictorial worlds, always based on myths and fairy tales, on stories of self-confident and beautiful women. The bright oil colours are applied forcefully and impasto and reflect the strength of the depicted women. Makarová's representations are based on the ornamentation and colouring of the early Expressionists such as Matisse and Vlaminck.

The artist first studied restoration in Bratislava and was discovered after the fall of communism by Adolf Frohner, who invited her to join his master class at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. There, however, Makarová quickly withdrew from the almost exclusively taught abstract art and turned to figuration, in particular the female figure.
