“Being a painter with a huge creative potential and imagination, Tereza Zikovska masters with ease and an enviable professionalism the means of expression of the painting. Her artistic nature constantly provokes her to look for experiments and to improvise in the classical easel form of the painting and to emotionally transform it with a new, pure energy.
Tereza’s art is full of existentialism and inner confidence, its repertory is like a puzzle of personal stories, experiences and reflections on life, which she rearranges in order to tame them using her philosophy of life directly, not hiding behind the chaos of the world around us, and this is her way to reach her inner self.”
