MÁRIA ŠVARBOVÁ’S REFRESHING WORK TAKES CENTRE STAGE IN AUGUST AT CALLAO CITY ARTS
We soothe the high summer temperatures with the refreshing work of Mária Švarbová. The Slovak photographer returns to Callao City Arts, the artistic programme promoted by Cultura Inquieta and Callao City Lights, with an exhibition of her photographs, where swimmers and swimming pools are the protagonists. The selection of pieces also includes images captured in desert landscapes, in which the female figure once again takes centre stage. Before choosing photography as her medium of expression, Mária studied restoration and archaeology.
Symmetry, light and pastel colours are some of the constants in his work. Her colourful series of static swimmers, as hypnotic as they are distant, shows a functionalist architecture, typical of Soviet countries, full of straight lines, white tiles and large windows with lots of natural light. Calm and stillness are also the protagonists of this artist’s images of desert landscapes, thanks to the immobility of her protagonists. Female figures whose clothing is reminiscent of the 1960s and which give meaning to the spaces in which they are photographed.
