Maria Mikloskova

Born in Bratislava, she graduated from the Higher School of Applied Arts, specializing in Textile Art. She subsequently completed her higher studies at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design (VŠVU), attending the Painting Department with a major in Free Art. She also received a scholarship to the Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia, where she specialized in drawing.
Professionally, she has combined watercolor, photography, and mixed media, drawing on a background spanning textile arts, academic painting, fashion, and creative cuisine. Her technique is characterized by media hybridization and a stylistic versatility in which transparencies, layering, and textures reflect the aesthetics of makeup and applied arts. Her works, inspired by the hidden beauty of everyday life and nature, convey a surprising visual poetry and a delicate emotional accessibility.
