Rita Koszorús (*1989, Bratislava) is a Slovak visual artist whose work explores themes such as identity and the search for home. She uses abstraction, collage and material work, often layering textiles, canvas and industrial textures to challenge our visual perceptions and ways of categorising. Her paintings have an illusionary effect - she composes two-dimensional paintings from fragments imitating different layers of materials, which she then develops into specific installations.
She studied at the Josef Vydra Academy of Arts in Bratislava and from 2008-2014 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava, first in the Department of Free Graphic Art, then in the Painting Studio under Prof. Daniel Fischer. In 2013, she completed an internship at the Academy of Fine Arts in Budapest under Imre Bukta and participated in several international residencies in Berlin, Paris, Porto and Budapest.
Rita Koszorús actively presents herself in solo and group exhibitions at home and abroad. She is a four-time finalist in the Painting of the Year competition, a finalist in the Novum Foundation competition and in 2021 she won first place in the VUB Painting of the Year competition. Her works are part of private and gallery collections and she is represented by VILTIN Gallery in Budapest.
