Audiences frequently perceive Petra’s work on two levels – one is full of merry illustrations which we know from books and magazines, and the second is found in the world of Instagrams. The visuality of her Instagram sketches directly react to moments of the experienced, similar to the photos of many users of this network. The format only enhances the impression of photography – Petra uses classic Polaroid dimensions, but she captures her shots manually using alcohol-based markers which add a peculiar edge. Her repertoire of drawings is diverse – starting with intimate family moments up to reactions to events which shake our society in some way. And thus we can encounter Petra’s smiling daughters as well as Ján and Martina, who in one shot symbolically no longer look at this world.
