BIO

Fanni Kopácsi is a contemporary artist born in 1991 in Budapest, Hungary. Awarded the First Prize Award in the Versiona Thyssen competition at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Spain in 2022, she was also selected for the XV Symposium of Contemporary Art Scampia in Naples, Italy in 2023. She studied fine arts at the Secondary School of Visual Arts in Budapest, Hungary, where she graduated in bookbinding. After that, she carried out years of experimental work, which allowed her to develop her practice. Her work has been exhibited internationally in public institutions, such as the Palau Martorell in Barcelona, Spain, the New Art Exchange Art Center, Nottingham, UK, and in private galleries such as Galería Arteria and Galería Uxval Gochez.

STATEMENT

Kopácsi works at the intersection of painting, textiles, and installation, creating sculptural forms that give new life to recovered materials. In her hands, textile becomes both a veil and a relic—simultaneously revealing and concealing.

She is drawn to what lies beneath the visible surface—a search for beauty in what we cast aside or overlook. Within this marginal space, she is exploring the hidden landscapes of our inner worlds, the subconscious on both a personal and collective level. Sewing every piece by hand to create new forms becomes more than a technique, a ritual, a healing act that stitches together what is broken or lost.

Her works hold both beauty and tragedy, decay and rebirth, materiality and ethereality. At this threshold, she seeks to restore a sense of mystery and wonder in our understanding of life, embracing complexity and the interconnectedness of all things.
