Dominika Visy

Born in Hungary in 1993 to a family containing an unusually high number of artists and creatives, I developed an interest in art under the guidance of Marcus Goldson. I took A-levels in Art and Literature in 2011, and I recently obtained a BA(Hons) in English and Drama at Queen Mary University of London.

I channel my creativity into various artistic outlets, ranging from visual arts, poetry and literature, to music and theatre. As a keen traveller who has lived in 5 countries, I draw inspiration from the diversity of cultures, flavours, sights and people. My art is inspired by the defiant ground-breakers of their times, such as Dali, Gaudi, Walt Whitman, James Joyce, Tim Burton, Roald Dahl and Frida Kahlo. I am at once a child of the age, firmly grounded in modern life, and an outsider who sees the absurdity and unfairness of it objectively. Driven by the desire to express myself and make my voice heard, I feel truly free and unburdened only during the process of artistic creation. Brooding and sensitive, my poetry embodies the increasing loneliness of the time, while my visual artworks are witnesses to the merry-go-round of emotions I experience. At times bright and cheerful, exuding hope, at other times they become dark and bitter. But overall my artistic mission, so to speak, is to draw attention, to educate, and to encourage change. 

I am interested in collaborating with fellow artistic souls on various projects. I would like to build a community of poets and reinstate poetry to its former glory, and I also have a keen interest in using art to engage with and respond to pressing social issues.
