Bety Krňanská is an artist whose work oscillates between painting and object, with the two modes of work often interpenetrating one another.

,,Pop out'', the series Unexpected Encounters, 150 x 200 cm, beeswax, patchwork, dyes, pigment inks, sublimation dyes, glossy varnish, 2023

In her non-painting objects, she uses a diverse range of materials and techniques, which she gradually sorts, refines, and in some cases even excludes from her repertoire. Textiles, metal, beeswax, as well as digital printing and new technologies all make an appearance. In addition to this position, the artist works as a classical painter using canvas and acrylic paints. Her abstract paintings do not lose touch with the world around us but are derived from its concrete forms. They are intertwined with the visual specificities of urban life, popular culture, typography, advertising visuals, decorative motifs, and fragments of architecture.

Less is less, the series Unexpected Encounters, 60 x 50 cm, bee wax, inks, pigments, patchwork, digital print, cotton canvas, 2023

Thematically, they deal primarily with feminism and environmental topics. Krňanská studied in the painting studio of Jiří Černický and Marek Meduna / Michal Novotný at the Academy of Arts, Architecture & Design in Prague. She frequently exhibits in galleries in the Czech Republic and abroad. She is partly based in Athens, Greece, where she also focuses a portion of her exhibition activities. Her work is represented in many private collections.
