Ivana Svetlik
Worlds of tradition and imagination
Ivana Svetlik is a tourism specialist by education and an artist by heart. In her work, she connects tradition and imagination. Her work carries the spirit of past times but is also turned towards the future. A damsel with long legs and dressed in folk costume, she walks through the pathway of the village, while her view reaches the distances of the world, and the dandy is always here, as a shadow. Under the name SvetLikova, she creates stories in colours intertwining the past and the present into unique visions. Her characters are not only figures; they are a reflection of the soul, a call to step into the world where tradition dances with eternity, in which the past has never foregone and the future is here with every brush stroke.
The pseudonym SvetLikova came from the surname Svetlik. In the Slovak language, it is common to add the suffix -ova to the surname of a female person, so I am Svetlíková. And when you play with words, you can get the World of Characters, which I guide you through my works. See for yourself!
