The theme of nationality and the homeland is a reappearing one in Slovak art. The urge to embrace the surroundings and identities is somewhat coded in Slovak art and literature. However, Lucia Tallova (born 1985), Slovak painter of the young generation (she graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava in 2011) approaches this ‘Slovak myth’ differently. Following the tradition of Slovak Modernism pioneers, there are no heroic romanticised Slovaks at work, no enthusiastic folk landscapes, only sober love-hate relationship with the city, the country, with home.
