< back to texts

Petra Varl’s style is certainly one of the more recognizable ones in Slovenian art. The artist succeeded in developing an artistic language, which on one hand preserves a unique personal poetics and on the other consistently testifies about the time and space through which the artist is moving. But Petra Varl’s every line does not merely record a state of affairs but above all of the nascent relationships and relations within society. This is why Petra Varl’s images seem to be personal testimonies that the artist anchors to societal relations and thus directly intervenes in the realm of our everyday life.
