Szilvia Ponyiczki is a Hungarian-born artist based in Grantham, Lincolnshire. She completed her Master of Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University in 2020, where symbolism, mythology, and collective memory became central to her practice.
Her work draws on long-term research into prehistoric art and the six cradles of civilisation, exploring creation myths, archetypal forms, and recurring symbols that persist across cultures. Rather than illustrating history, she excavates its symbolic residue, transforming ancient motifs into a contemporary visual language that bridges past and present.
Influenced by Jungian thought, Ponyiczki approaches painting as a meeting point between the conscious and unconscious. Structured compositions coexist with intuitive gestures and emerging symbols, forming layered spaces where myth, memory, and dream converge. Through this process, she explores themes of creation, transformation, and the unknown.
