Biography

Svarbova was born in Zlaté Moravce, Slovakia and she currently lives in Bratislava, Slovakia. She attended Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra[5] and the School of Applied Arts Josefa Vydru in Bratislava. Svarbova's artworks have appeared in magazines such as Vogue, Forbes, CNN and The Guardian. She has been commissioned to photograph advertising campaigns for large international companies such as Apple,[6] Murata[7] and Museum of Ice Cream.[8] Svarbova has been featured in numerous solo exhibitions in galleries and museums around the world.

Style

Maria Svarbova works depict socialist-era architecture, public spaces and routine actions of daily life. The Guardian has described her work as "inspired by the stark architecture" of Slovakia. She prefers brutalist architecture and functionalism. She experiments with colours, space and symmetry of composition. CNN has described her typical post-production process as "the bodies are multiplied, colors are enhanced and asymmetrical elements are erased." Juxtapoz Magazine declares that characters in Svarbova's photographies "have chosen to give up any kind of extravagance that might unmask them".[9] Each scene is meticulously designed, especially with regard to the colors of the props and the minimalist poses of the models; the photographer relies on a lighting and costume team to do this.
