Nela Bártová

Nela Bártová (*1998) aka neli vanilli, originally from Opava, graduated from the Sculpture Studio 2 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Brno and is now continuing her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. As neli vanilli she occasionally mixes carousel techno, but also ambient sounds. Text is an integral part of her work - she has been published on several literary websites, in magazines and anthologies, and her debut collection Na konci chodby je ráno was published by Bílý Vigvam in Ostrava in 2021 and nominated for the Magnesia Litera Award. In her works, Bártová deals with themes concerning man in relation to nature and his functioning in the contemporary world. Elements of collage appear throughout her work, which she uses in various forms, especially in the combination of media she works with. Her preoccupations are sleep and walking.
