About me
Mgr. art. Barbora Repková
Welcome to my world full of colors, fantasy and unique stories, where reality blends with the magic of art. My name is Barbora Repková and with every stroke of the brush I create new worlds - for myself, for you, for everyone who desires something special .
My work is as mysterious as it is full of joy and color. I have been creative since childhood and wanted to capture what is not visible at first glance - emotions , memories, dreams . My path to visual arts began while studying scenography and costume design at the Academy of Performing Arts, where I learned under the guidance of renowned teachers how to breathe life into stories on stage. Today, I use these experiences in the creation of images that offer a new perspective on everyday moments and inner experiences - whether it is fairy-tale cities , children 's fantasies or the beauty of nature.
Over the years, I have developed my characteristic and unique style, which is recognizable and sought after . I believe that art has the power to capture not only a moment, but also memories, desires and feelings. While creating, I listen to the stories of my clients so that I can incorporate symbols and details that are important to them into their paintings . Maybe it will be the street where you experienced your first date , or the house where you grew up - in every piece of my art there is a message waiting to be discovered.
Years of creation have led me to three main topics that fascinate me:
- Magic cities
The Magic Cities collection is characterized by its deliberately deformed architecture, distinctive colors and a bird's-eye view, which allows you to see the cities from a unique point of view. From this moderate height, views into hidden corners of alleys or squares lit up by evening lamps open up. Every city I paint holds the stories of its inhabitants – I imagine the destinies of the people who live outside the windows, often incorporating client-specific symbols and details into my works. It can be a memory of a loved one, childhood, the place of the first meeting or even the birthplace. These small but significant details make each painting special and unique to its owner.
Magical towns are my most sought-after works, and many clients return after years with the fact that they discovered a new detail in the painting that surprised them. This process of discovery and the deep connection of the clients with the work motivates me to dedicate hours of precise work to each image.
I create paintings from this collection mainly to order with acrylic paints on canvas, in sizes from 50x50 cm to 120x80 cm. Each painting is an original, which is created in close cooperation with the client - from color tuning to symbolism, so that it perfectly matches the interior and personal taste.

- Children's world
Children's world is an inexhaustible source of inspiration and joy for me. Creativity for children opens up endless possibilities, where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. With these images, objects come to life, animals talk, and even the sky or water can be given a new, magical meaning. The moon smiles, trees and flowers tell stories, and even grandparents can reappear in the picture as heroes of dream adventures.
Paintings for children are playful and sometimes even surreal, but they always contain a bit of humor and novelty, even if I draw on traditional fairy tales or well-known characters. I most often process these motifs in the form of watercolor illustrations on smaller formats or as extensive paintings (acrylic or oil) on large canvases. Each picture is a unique, cheerful and fantasy world that can grow with the child, bringing joy and enriching his imagination.

- Secrets of nature
Nature has always been and remains a deep source of inspiration for me. In my work you often find its secrets, the connection between its wildness and harmony, and the relationship of man with this magnificent whole. I create paintings that depict intertwined treetops and endless seas where land and water merge into one. These works are created by successive layering and scraping of oil paints until the abstraction is formed into concrete shapes that reveal their hidden story.
Trees are one of my recurring motifs, symbolizing the life force and interconnectedness of all living things. I am fascinated by how nature forms a harmonious whole, how its subtle elements affect us, humans. When creating these images, I try to capture that invisible bridge between nature and the human soul, where quiet moments become a space for deep awareness and connection.

My cooperation
During my career, I collaborated on several successful projects, including book illustrations and theater posters, or designs for well-known theaters and operas. Among my most significant collaborations are projects for RTVS, theaters such as the SND and the State Opera in Banská Bystrica, and book illustrations for the Perfekt publishing house.
