Andrea Pézman

Andrea Pézman serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Graphics and Other Media at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Bratislava, teaching Graphic Space and Object courses and Free Graphics Studio while contributing to Slovakia's visual arts education.

Her academic background includes a Doctor of Art (ArtD.) from the Academy of Fine Arts Bratislava (2008-2018) under Prof. Robert Jančovič, a degree in Graphics and Other Media (2001-2005) with Prof. Dušan Kállay, specialized bookbinding training (2003-2004) under Assoc. Prof. Jiří H. Kocman, and architecture studies at Slovak University of Technology (1993-1999).

Pézman's creative research focuses on experimental printmaking techniques including cyanotype, etching, and screenprint, with signature works in artist's books that bridge traditional graphic media and conceptual installation art. Her practice explores abstract narrative structures, bodily themes, and spatial interventions through multi-dimensional visual communication.

Her publications demonstrate consistent innovation in book art and graphic media, evolving from early award-winning works like "Bird flying" (2001) to recent large-scale cyanotype installations such as "Wound..." (2021), reflecting ongoing exploration of materiality, scale, and conceptual depth in contemporary graphic arts.

Notable recognitions include:

• 2014 MEGA–PIXEL 2014, Budapest
• 2013 OPENED BOOK International Biennial, Győr
• 2012 ABOT Project Finalist
• 2010-2009 SVU Awards for Liberal/Applied Arts
• 2005-2002 Most Beautiful Books of Slovakia awards
• 2001 Biennial of Book Art Martin Mayor's Award

No documented graduate student advising or research grants are publicly associated with Pézman; her professional focus remains centered on creative practice and studio-based teaching within the Department of Graphics and Other Media.

While Pézman maintains an individual studio practice, her extensive participation in international collective exhibitions and projects like ABOT demonstrates collaborative engagement with broader artistic communities without formal laboratory or team leadership structures.
