About Mila

Míla Judge-Fürstová is a unique artist printmaker whose works combine both the mythical and historical with personal narratives. Printmaking has a deep history with books and lends itself naturally to telling complex stories. In the “Danae” series the motif of water is explored as a feminine theme suggesting power and release. In “Flight over Sea” and “Flight V” the ideas of escape and the erosion of identity are examined. Perhaps of all the mediums artists use, intaglio printmaking lends itself to self reflection – even to the literal mirror like quality of a copper plate. Although in many previous works Míla has suggested her own presence she is now depicting herself as a protagonist within the images.

The fascination that her work inspires is very much a product of that difficult to achieve synthesis of technical virtuosity and poetic spirit. What we can take from work like this is something as profound as an encounter with another person.
