Michaela Spružinová (1983), an artist influenced by the Ústí nad Labem art scene, among others, shapes her works as critical commentary on contemporary popular culture, which both fascinates and provokes her. However, her themes do not only touch on mass culture, kitsch aesthetics, and nonsense, often constructed using plant or landscape motifs. The author also works with more serious themes, such as the perception of (one's own) body and its (re)presentation in contemporary visual culture. In connection with her works, we could also talk about the hybrid body, the body in constant change and transformation. Michaela works with the demanding technique of drawn glass threads, from which she creates a kind of network, again actually a specific textile. She "weaves" or "wraps" these nets around plaster or sibral models in the case of objects, and in the case of hanging reliefs, she leaves the threads to settle in the kiln. Her objects thus combine in a special way the fragility of the material, the delicacy and finesse of the work, and the roughness of the point.

For these three personalities, patience is a way of working artistically and thinking about art. It is a value and a characteristic of their work. It is also a metaphor for their position outside the mainstream of the art scene and an expression of their determination to continue creating according to their own criteria.
