Laura Zvěřina (b. 1993) received her Bachelor’s degree from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Brno, where she studied in the Intermedia Studio, and later continued her education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, graduating from the Painting Studio in 2021. She is a visual artist focusing on painting and symbolic narrative structures, exploring the boundaries between reality, fiction, and collective memory. Her work moves between abstraction and figuration, often incorporating everyday artifacts, and examines transformations of identity and the body at the threshold between the human, the animal, and the supernatural.
Her practice reflects on memory, collective trauma, and the fragile mechanisms through which images shape experience. Recurrent motifs such as animals, hats, sunglasses, and abstract forms function as symbolic artifacts that guide the reading of fragmented landscapes and architectural memory. Her installations and paintings merge object, text, and image into immersive scenes that oscillate between irony and melancholy.
Her work has been presented primarily on the Czech art scene — at Walkthru Gallery (2025), Marienbad Film Festival (2020, 2021), Clam-Gallas Palace (2018), and City Surfer Gallery (2017) — as well as internationally, including Bolderaja Gallery in Latvia (2022), Cvernovka Gallery in Bratislava (2017), and the Czech Centre in Berlin (2016). She completed a residency at the Egon Schiele Art Centrum in Český Krumlov in 2025.
