Michaela Spružinová's works are exciting for their narrative elements, which present, reflect, and communicate themes that resonate with contemporary society. They touch on these themes in a distinctive, simplified form and with a graphic shorthand that seems to draw on sources rooted somewhere in pop art or caricature. Michaela works with the material with great ease, subordinating it to her drawing and painting visuality, while leaving aside any adoration or aristocratic exclusivity. She works with lightness and conviction, and the processed theme does not reveal the labor that lies behind each of her creations.
The objects are often the result of slow and painstaking construction of an image or object from individual threads or other elements pulled by hand from glass. It is in these objects that Michaela's sparkling feminine emotionality and energy, which permeates her entire work, is reflected. The space and illusory image she creates in this way is a stage on which she revokes events inspired by her observations of life, our dreams, and the cruel, journalistic, abbreviated reflections that are an integral part of our understanding of the world. For Kuzebauch, Michaela also created a site-specific installation of works in which she works with glass from the defunct Egermann glassworks. The production of this recently defunct traditional and famous company defined the motifs that we can see transformed by her specific style.
