Dominika Dobiášová is an outstanding representative of the emerging generation of painters. Already during her studies she was able to constantly surprise with a fresh language of the Neo-Romantic stylization of her paintings, well thought-out compositions and precise work with materials. Her pre-Raphaelite and surrealistic figures appear in dreamlike scenes, linking the personal and the subconscious with current social issues in a novel way, conceptualizing art history through their form. In her work, she focuses on the psychology of the characters depicted, and through allusions to biblical Eve, Renaissance Venus, and medieval witch hunts, one can read in her work more mature feminist themes and various conflicting emotions associated with the long-standing exploitation of women. She often complements her paintings with original wooden frames and her installations are accompanied by blown glass objects and hand-crafted pedestals.

Dominika Dobiášová (*1996, Ostrava) completed her bachelor’s degree at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Ostrava in the drawing studio of Josef Daňek and Libor Novotný, and her master’s degree at the Brno University Faculty of Fine Arts in the painting studio of Vasil Artamonov and Maria Štindlová, with a semester in Vienna in the studio of Ernst Yohji Jaeger. In 2024, she participated in a residency at the A.R.C. in Bucharest and a group exhibition at 8smička.
