Lucia Dovičáková on Artyčok

The work of Lucia Dovičáková (video, painting, photography) is characterized mostly by a direct interpreting of the concept and tendencies towards explicit statements, sometimes colored with personal symbols.

This is my favorite theme, Madonnas with child.00:00:26.564
00:00:26.564
I try to deal with my role as a mother.00:00:37.015
00:00:37.015
I'm scared of not being able to reconcile my art00:00:41.649
00:00:41.649
with family life.00:00:46.004
00:00:46.004
Here they look like predators or parasites.00:00:48.592

Lucia DOVIČÁKOVÁ Women, bad painting, braids of hair, Košice00:00:53.905
00:00:53.905
I try to make generalizations00:00:57.724
00:00:57.724
based on my personal experience.00:01:01.510
00:01:01.510
I get better and better with practice.00:01:12.136
00:01:12.136
There's no way to stop that.00:01:15.960
00:01:15.960
So you don't want to get worse and worse?00:01:19.460
00:01:19.460
Well, maybe if I found my style in that...00:01:23.542
00:01:23.542
But I'm not sure if I'm able to look for my style.00:01:27.529
00:01:27.529
Something just crosses my mind and I do it,00:01:33.274
00:01:33.274
without focusing on the way I do it.00:01:37.495
00:01:37.495
I thought about doing things in a different way00:01:42.384
00:01:42.384
but normally I just do something00:01:47.587
00:01:47.587
and then suddenly it's finished.00:01:51.230
00:01:51.230
This is one of my earliest paintings.00:02:04.999
00:02:04.999
You can see it's very different from the current ones.00:02:08.916
00:02:08.916
But not on purpose. I didn't know what would happen.00:02:14.411
00:02:14.411
It just turned out somehow.00:02:21.269
00:02:21.269
How women react to themselves,00:02:25.433
00:02:25.433
what ideas they have about femininity...00:02:28.933
00:02:28.933
That's all very interesting to observe and analyze.00:02:32.433
00:02:32.433
It's my personal research.00:02:37.798
00:02:37.798
I think that the fight for women's rights is over00:02:43.061
00:02:43.061
and now it's more about women's self-awareness,00:02:47.703
00:02:47.703
I feel that they are a little lost now.00:02:52.288
00:02:52.288
We work a lot00:02:56.530
00:02:56.530
and we can't realize our natural instincts,00:02:59.530
00:02:59.530
which causes many problems.00:03:03.699
00:03:03.699
It's hard to find the right moment for a baby.00:03:07.199
00:03:07.199
Which works am I happy with? Well, I like this one.00:03:12.003
00:03:12.003
But... yes, I think it's good.00:03:20.144
00:03:20.144
During the first crisis we had to work with porn.00:03:23.696
00:03:23.696
I edited photos and this is how I released the pressure.00:03:29.574
00:03:29.574
If you take it to the extreme,00:03:35.431
00:03:35.431
it's just a tool for delivering babies.00:03:38.931
00:03:38.931
But it was fun, although after some time...00:03:43.259
00:03:43.259
I don't give much thought to the form.00:03:49.543
00:03:49.543
I do what I feel.00:03:54.200
00:03:54.200
I just remember it. But I can't draw some basic things.00:03:57.372
00:03:57.372
I couldn't draw a lion by heart, for instance.00:04:02.243
00:04:02.243
What will you draw for your children?00:04:09.456
00:04:09.456
Well, when I see a lion and try to memorize it, I will.00:04:12.949
00:04:12.949
The shape of its nostrils...00:04:21.064
00:04:21.064
But maybe I could even draw it right away.00:04:24.564
00:04:24.564
I saw many documentaries about lions.00:04:28.763
00:04:28.763
The zoo is too crowded, I couldn't draw there.00:04:32.987
00:04:32.987
But I go there often.00:04:37.487
00:04:37.487
- So you don't draw en plein air? - No, no. I go to the zoo for fun.00:04:40.487
00:04:40.487
This is taken to the extreme.00:04:46.915
00:04:46.915
It was supposed to be a large painting00:04:50.676
00:04:50.676
with these ladies but I don't have enough patience00:04:57.105
00:04:57.105
so it's just a drawing.00:05:02.377
00:05:02.377
You need to organize your time.00:05:06.350
00:05:06.350
It's possible to combine work with art00:05:09.821
00:05:09.821
but sometimes it's hard to immerse in what I do.00:05:14.277
00:05:14.277
I don't have time to do large, demanding works.00:05:19.679
00:05:19.679
But maybe that's also because I lack patience.00:05:24.600
00:05:24.600
This is another drawing. Metal musicians.00:05:37.517
00:05:37.517
But it's not very good.00:05:43.435
00:05:43.435
This is Sissi. I worked a lot on this theme.00:05:51.342
00:05:51.342
She was a romantic idol of my high school friends.00:05:56.485
00:05:56.485
An ideal woman.00:06:01.573
00:06:01.573
As a child I really liked the Terminator.00:06:06.104
00:06:06.104
I used to play the Terminator with my cousins.00:06:13.059
00:06:13.059
This is Diane, the hunting goddess.00:06:19.221
00:06:19.221
She's another icon of femininity.00:06:25.680
00:06:25.680
These are older, I made them before this summer.00:06:32.277
00:06:32.277
These are Madonnas too.00:06:40.234
00:06:40.234
They are a foretaste of the one you just saw,00:06:43.673
00:06:43.673
the one with the little predator.00:06:48.173
00:06:48.173
Here I tried to deal00:06:51.642
00:06:51.642
with the idea of deifying women as mothers.00:06:54.642
00:06:54.642
The theme comes from this book I never finished.00:06:58.962
00:06:58.962
It talks about an accepted model of a woman00:07:11.265
00:07:11.265
who has no needs and devotes herself to others.00:07:16.334
00:07:16.334
Since I've been working for that company00:07:21.068
00:07:21.068
I've been making these dark brown, bland works.00:07:25.190
00:07:25.190
At work we make everything look beautiful and colorful00:07:30.076
00:07:30.076
so without thinking about it,00:07:35.774
00:07:35.774
I started to make gray, dark watercolor paintings.00:07:39.274
00:07:39.274
These are Housewives.00:07:45.331
00:07:45.331
They merged with the carpet.00:07:50.849
00:07:50.849
This is also a result of my reading that book.00:07:54.807
00:07:54.807
Women's place used to be in the home,00:08:00.523
00:08:00.523
they had to take care of it.00:08:08.101
00:08:08.101
The rest isn't very interesting.00:08:19.157
