Zsófi Barabás's most characteristic feature are the indicative, dense and scarce compositions, and as well the act of combining organic and geometric forms. Her biomorphic forms often build on, yet unfold from each other. Spreading out horizontally, they often seem to break trought the tresholds of canvases into the great vastness. Her artistic language is defined by a conscious, yet a constantly present experimental attitude, by an urge of searching for new ways in representation, in terms of concept and execution. The duality of plane and space, the reinterpretation of compositional elements in 3D formats and the need to plastically reinterpret pictorial thoughts are all aspects that become indicative in Barabás’ body of work from time to time.
