Michaela Šindlerová is a Czech-born abstract painter whose work explores personal and collective mythologies. Interweaving language and symbolism, she investigates how contemporary narratives intersect with historical myths  in shaping cultural memory by examining the determining forces that shape human experience - ideas of fate, nationality, and gender. Drawing on her background as a female painter from a post-Soviet country, she subtly incorporates Slavic mythological elements to reflect on such a role.
