ABOUT THE ARTIST
Petra Feriancova uses wide range of contemporary visual languages, from conceptual painting through installations, in situ works and photographs. She finds inspiration in her own emotional reactions, explores processes of perception, memory and ways of their interpratation. Her photographic reflections lead to questions and doubts about the space in which we move and live. They reflect reality in a fictional way.
