Szilvia FÜZIK (b. 1992 in Slovakia) is a visual artist based in Bratislava, Slovakia. Working primarily with painting and at times extending her practice into installation, she investigates the visual and conceptual possibilities of congruence—where controlled spaces intersect with expressive gestures, and where past and present echo across the surface.
 

​Many of FÜZIK’s paintings open up atmospheric, almost meditative spaces, where surfaces appear as shifting fields of tension and release. The subtle layering of textures and contrasts invites the viewer to slow down, to linger in the in-between states where clarity and ambiguity coexist. This atmospheric quality is less about depiction and more about evocation—suggesting that painting can act as both a mirror of internal processes and a contemplative ground for shared human experience.
 

Her earlier works were marked by expressive tendencies, giving voice to inner processes through raw, intuitive marks. Over time, the artistic language has shifted toward abstraction, employing oil, acrylic, masking tape, and mixed media to construct compositions in which precision and contingency coexist. In these works, strict structures are disrupted by painterly spontaneity, creating an ongoing dialogue between order and dissonance.

Recent projects also incorporate the reappearance of earlier motives alongside new works, allowing temporal layers of her language to overlap. Smaller, reductive canvases often function as fragments of a larger whole, highlighting the rhythm of detail and silence amid complexity. At times, her exploration expands into installation, where spatial presence and materiality further deepen the encounter between viewer and work - see her reoccurring ladder.  FÜZIK’s practice does not aim to resolve tensions but to inhabit them. Her work offers a contemplative space in which differences are not erased but integrated—pointing toward harmony as a dynamic process rather than a fixed state.
