Dalena Labosova

Daniela R. Labos (MFA, MA) received her MFA in 2015 at the Department of Painting at the Academy of Fine Art and Design in Bratislava, Slovakia. In 2009 she received an MA as a teacher of Art and Art History at the University of Presov in Slovakia. She studied at the Department of Fine Art at Newcastle University in Newcastle upon Tyne, as well.

In her art practice, Labos works with installations, drawings but primarily with paintings. The core of her artworks are themes from everyday life, from trivial situations, personal observation, or memory traces. Labos builds her paintings basically as abstract or vague environments. These environments can’t be strictly identified on the first view, they are unknown, vague. Paintings have their own roles to allure the audience closer, change the direction of view and then, paintings reveal new insight, tracks, and offer to wander between interspaces. Important is the act of the painting process and the consecutive personal necessity of participating as an accession of the physicality.

Dalena R. Labos is an active artist who regularly participates in exhibitions across the UK, in Europe, or at home in Slovakia. In Rooftop Arts Centre she leads art classes for young artists called ‘Young Creators’.
