I was born in 1952 in Sobrance. From an early age, I felt a deep connection to art – I enjoyed drawing, painting, singing, and engaging in music and folklore. My artistic talent was recognized by painter Mikuláš Nebesník, who introduced me to oil painting in my youth and helped me develop the foundations of visual art.

I studied art education at the Faculty of Education of UPJŠ in Prešov. For more than 38 years, I worked as a teacher in Trebišov. Alongside my teaching career, I always remained devoted to artistic creation, singing, and cultural life.

A significant turning point in my work came in 2011, when I began to focus on icon painting. I perceive icon writing as a spiritual journey that connects art with inner peace, concentration, and prayer.

In addition to icons, I work with various artistic techniques – oil painting, watercolor, pastel, acrylic, and egg tempera. In my work, I enjoy depicting nature, flowers, landscapes, architecture, and sacred motifs.

My works have been presented in numerous group and solo exhibitions both in Slovakia and abroad. For me, art is a way to express the beauty of the world, peace, and spiritual values that are important in my life.
