More Light
In the last three years, the work of Monika Žáková has reached a synthesis of her previous concentrated creation, positioning itself as an authentic analytical abstraction. The author sensitively works with the energy of the material, its physical essence, and the subtle dynamics of the image plane's proportions. However, a fundamental element of her work is light, which acts as a co-creator of the whole. Žáková allows light to enter the work and shape it. Gradually, it functions as a medium that is not only a solid part of the physical form of the image but also its content component, philosophical matter, and a certain measure.
