THE ARTIST
Miriam Fitzgerald Juskova is a visual artist originally from Slovakia, living in Ireland for almost 20 years, creating three-dimensional paper artwork bringing mathematics and art together. Her work is also known as ‘Paper on Edge’, an old traditional technique based on paper quilling. By combining this technique with her passion for mathematics, she brings new dimensions to contemporary art and joy to everyday life.
Graduated a furniture designer, she was always inspired by geometry and mathematics, strong subjects in her family, with her mother and sister both working as mathematics teachers. In 2019 Miriam finished her job as a structural engineer to enter the art world and because a full time artist.
Miriam is showing at The Montenotte Hotel until July 2022 in association with The Gallery Kinsale.
THE ART
This is her first solo exhibition, and the main piece ‘You Are All Invited’ was especially created for the exhibition. It signifies openness and hope of good things to come.
In this exhibition, Miriam expands on her passion for colourful patterns and geometry, working with calm but also brave colours combinations, with symmetry and repetition of geometric shapes, creating various configurations.
To create each piece, she spends hours designing, cutting, folding and gluing paper, in order to achieve required depth and movement. It is the mixture of curiosity and precision which makes her pieces unique. Some of her pieces are created intuitively, while others are carefully pre-designed and measured.
