Pfishova’s practice is rooted in emotional intensity while remaining formally precise. Working with raw materials, a restrained monochromatic palette, and structural elements such as grids, cords, and repetitive arrangements, she creates works that operate through tension rather than spectacle.
Positioned between expressionism and conceptual practice, her works are consciously constructed and attentive to symbolism and composition. Rather than functioning as decorative objects, they engage with questions of corporeality, memory, identity, and control. Her approach can be situated within neo-avant-garde traditions, incorporating elements of post-minimalism and Arte Povera, while occasionally evoking associations with 1970s feminist body art — approached in a personal rather than ideological manner.
Pfishova explores existential, spiritual, and social themes, often drawing on personal experience. Her use of black and white emphasizes contrasts between visibility and concealment, light and darkness. Through techniques such as woodcut, linocut, drypoint, and typography, she constructs structural compositions using reclaimed materials including nets, strings, and wires. Her long-term, research-based projects reflect an ongoing investigation into materiality, vulnerability, and the human condition.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I hunt endlessly in the nooks and crannies of my subconscious, the arsenal of infinite ideas. Carving the most detailed shapes, I make shapes into vectors, showing the way. I follow my instinct going by importance and listening to reason. Until all that remains is my own being and the world I create.
The space that is all mine of which I am aware. The devil’s in the detail structures and shapes. Resembling nothing from afar. From closer which the pieces of the soul emerge.
I am an artistic soul through and through. Trying to carve out my own space in these modern times. I feel the constant pull towards new ways of creative expression. At the same time striving to make things that will ultimately prove useful. In my mind graphic design and art proper meet in painting and illustration my preferred ways of expression.
Realism is of little interest to me. Or rather what is considered real in a world obsessed with imitation appearance over substance. The time I spend on an art piece I spend trying to make it uniquely mine. Trying to give it what makes me me.
This is how I escape pressure of technical excellence. Knowing that the focus and devotion I give will shine through my art making it worthwhile. Looking for inspiration I look until I can no longer see the obvious. Only when I stop trying to notice every detail the image emerges.
This is where the idea of PLANET RECYCLED ART. Comes from the multitude of impulses all equally fascinating and intertwined. Can become real thanks to various techniques I find liberating as an artist. All my ideas I put down on blank page, then design. By creating a clean canvas for my art, I escape the mundane reality.
