Vanda is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice facilitates entrances to worlds parallel to our own. Working in a meditative trance of escapism, her work is playful, childlike and shamelessly feminine, usually oscillating around the themes of personal nostalgia, mythology and fantastical biomimicry. Using combinations of various media, she creates a peaceful oasis and invites the viewer for a stroll in a place where the current world cannot reach them.
Vanda is a Slovak artist who lives and works in Rotterdam, NL. She graduated BA Fashion Design in Willem de Kooning Academy in 2023.
Destilaat #25
Every year, Extrapool visits the graduation exhibitions of the Dutch art academies. What keeps these young artists busy? How do they shape their work at the end of their academic years? In November, we invite a selection of promising freshly graduated artists for a two-week working period at Extrapool. Together, they will organize an exhibition throughout our building, from kitchen to bathroom, from basement to roof, with old and new work and a smashing opening night.
