Profile

Sofie Švejdová

Sofie Švejdová (*1990) patří k nejvýraznějším talentům své generace. Vystudovala ateliér malby pod vedením Stanislava Diviše a Jiřího Černického na pražské UMPRUM a stážovala na Royal Academy of Fine Arts v Antverpách. Během studií se věnovala také experimentální soše a instalacím.

V současnosti se vyjadřuje zejména velkoformátovou, silně gestickou a expresivní malbou, případně drobnějšími malbami na papír. Maluje bez štětců, pouze prsty. Barvy vrství na plátno tak, až obraz získá vlastní reliéf a stane se téměř objektem. Její práce jsou osobní, nesou v sobě energii, emoce i erotičnost. Jednotlivé obrazy spolu tiše komunikují, jako by tvořily epizody jednoho příběhu.

Samostatně vystavuje od roku 2013. Mezinárodní pozornost si získala výstavou v Jiří Švestka Gallery v Berlíně a účastí na veletrzích umění v New Yorku a Barceloně. Její díla jsou součástí soukromých sbírek v Česku i zahraničí.

About the work

Sofie Švejdová for 100 pcs

Kaktus was created in parallel with my main body of work, which is characterized by a rapid, grotesque, and poster-like style. Compared to the large canvases I usually work on, this is my lighter side. A personal piece in which I capture fragments of my life exactly as I experience them.
