Mīna Art Space Gallery presents a solo exhibition within the framework of Slovak art by the exceptional artist, painter and sculptor Eva Moflárová (1981, Liptovský Mikuláš), who works in Košice. She is also a teacher at the Faculty of Arts of the Technical University in Košice, where she is also a graduate of the studios of Adam Szentpétery and Rudolf Sikora. She received her doctorate from the Academy of Arts in Banská Bystrica.

Eva Moflárová's solo exhibition entitled The Letter O represents a closed cycle of paintings, drawings and objects. O is about a round form, a circle, an egg, an eye, the sky, the washing of round shapes, images of light, but also about the protection of life. The idea of the exhibition is the concept of wonder at life. "O!" is an exclamation. It is a transcendental reflection on life, its forms, but also on its chemical, biological and physical manifestations.

She describes organic microstructures, like cross-sections of plants, in automatic writing by repeating the letter O, but at the same time they create shapes that are visible through a microscope. That is, not those that we perceive with our eyes, but with the help of an instrument. As a researcher, she demystifies the hidden life of cells. Those moments when life begins, that is, before life is even visible.

Another shift in the o-theme is Eva's "fragile geometry," which meditates on vision, what vision is, and how we see. These are not radical geometries, but geometrically reduced fragments of images of what is seen through the lens.
