Kristýna’s practice focuses on female identity - its suppression and its rediscovery. She works with the tension between women’s lived experience and societal expectations. The motif of Lilith - an archetype of untamed feminine power - functions as a symbolic eclipse: a moment in which the traditional image of woman recedes and a new, often tabooed form of femininity emerges. Eyes, lips, and hands in her paintings simultaneously reveal and conceal, operating as visual eclipses. Within the exhibition, Kristýna approaches the eclipse as a process of emancipation, in which old roles dissolve and new identities are formed.
