Presentation
Alexandra “Saša” Makarová was born in Košice, Slovakia and studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava (Vysoká škola výtvarných umení Bratislava) from 1987 to 1991. With the fall of the Wall and the opening of the Iron Curtain, she moved to Austria in 1991 and studied at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, in the master class of the painter and sculptor Professor Adolf Frohner, who had shaped Viennese Actionism and, among other things, in 1970 at the Venice Biennale was shown. In 1997 she finished her studies with a scholarship and a diploma with distinction. Study trips to Nepal, Iran, India, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Burma, Japan and China followed.
Since her first solo exhibition in 1996 in the Stadtturmgalerie in Innsbruck, her works have been shown in numerous solo exhibitions, group exhibitions and participation in trade fairs, such as the Museum Morsbroich, the Künstlerhaus Wien, the Galerie Hilger, Wien, the Galerie Friedmann-Hahn, Berlin, and Art Karlsruhe, the Viennafair and the ARCO Madrid, Madrid. Makarová's oeuvre is a figurative exploration of the theme of "woman and femininity". In the form of challenging self-portraits, with impasto floral and ornamental elements that are reminiscent of Henri Matisse, but also of the expressive coloring of the Brücke painters. She works with subjects from myths and fairy tales, with which she creates her own world in her pictures, based on the gestural painting of the Fauves, the Neue Wilden, whose main representatives in Austria included Adolf Frohner, and the painter and action artist Hermann Nitsch and Hubert Schmalix. Makarová mixes her oil paints herself, using intensely luminous pigments that give her paint application a deliberate graininess. The picture grows out of the canvas, so to speak. Echoes such as the woodcut-like figures and bright, intense colors are reminiscent of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner or Emil Nolde. Makarová's painting is not art for its own sake. The style, the choice of color and form, is always Makarova's conscious means of encouraging the viewer to embark on an emotional journey into the inner life of the artist's soul: the pictures capture intimate scenes of tense ambiguity, clothed in the aesthetic cloak of Sensuality. They tell of love, dependencies and sexuality in mythological form, always from the perspective of self-determined femininity.
