A constant in Jindra Viková's work is her attention to the human figure, both
to the whole figure, as well as to its isolated fragments. In the first place, it is
first of all, the subjects of the head, the face or its silhouette. She found her way to them already as a young
artist, when in her glazed ceramic likenesses from the late 1970s
she first followed the long tradition of sculptural busts. She does not portray people,
She depicts a person in his general features, in his gaze, gesture or attitude,
which can be used to convey outwardly, consciously or unconsciously, inner states
and other contents. The human face as a general expression of human
of states and emotions is continuously revisited to this day.
