Born in the mid-90s in the Czech Republic, Filip Gyurkovský started his artistic journey at a very early age. After graduating at an art-related high school in Prague, he obtained a Bachelor in Fine Arts at the University of Ostrava. In 2017 he moved to Barcelona and started working in his personal artistic career, focusing on the exploration of ephemeral and mortality. 

Using expressive realism as a basis, his work is a continuous exercise of experimentation through realism and the anatomical drawing rules. Through deformation, concealment and the use of expressive strokes, Filip attempts to let the essence of the unknown and the mysterious emanate from his portraits. He uses a wide variety of materials to achieve more complex and texture-rich compositions. During his working process, he lets himself be carried away by what the painting suggests him at every moment, reflecting on the canvas his impulses and intuitions. Despite the fact that all his works can be conceptually grouped around the same themes, each of his pieces stands by its own, creating new individual meanings. During his research and production new areas of interest arise and lead him to the next work.
