Eva Bodo concluded her master's studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava in June 2022. Although her primary discipline is abstract painting, her work predominantly encompasses intermedial and processual elements. Alongside painting, she works with photography, drawing, and digital media, including GIFs and NFTs. In 2023, she participated in multiple solo and group exhibitions, including a large-format painting exhibition at the CIN CIN Gallery, an exploration of the intersection between painting and photography at the Central European House of Photography, both in Bratislava, and a group exhibition of abstract painting where she was a finalist among 18 selected international artists at the YICCA Art Prize in Venice, Italy.nnThrough an intermedial and interdisciplinary artistic approach, the author analyzes the distinctive challenges, such as the personal and often intimate aspects of artistic inquiry. Bodo engages with abandoned spaces and neglected sites in the city and its outskirts, collects artifacts during her practice, and explores the relationships between art and reality, examining whether they are intricate and diverse or simple and uniform. nnThe author's animus is to emphasize this topic by reflecting reality through fugitive interventions in which art imitates, interprets, and transforms the visual reality of urban vacuums and their structures through several media such as photography, drawing, painting, and digital art. This act explores both factual and fictional lenses alongside the artists’ objective and subjective experiences and the scientific and art-based research methodologies used to produce artistic evidence and conveying results. It also challenges artists’ multifaceted skills to develop sustainable, even eco-friendly, immersive artistic solutions that prioritize environmental conservation alongside social engagement through arts.
