GOMBOS Lilla (*1999) Student of the Department of Painting. In her illustrations and drawings, she has mastered a certain style with a patterned repetition of motifs, in which she deals mostly with social or personal problems, attitudes towards the world and herself. In the medium of painting, she explores and learns about these themes from different angles, pushing further their boundaries.
MATURKANIČ Matej (*1996) Student of the Department of Painting. In his work, he often relies marginally on the theme of graffiti, which essentially directed him to painting. His work is mainly based on typography and illustration. His paintings often consist of abstract font shapes, characters and various simplified drawings.
ŽITNAYOVÁ Lucia (*1994) Student of the Department of Painting. She has had several collective exhibitions. Lucia Žitnayová focuses mainly on abstract topics. Her work is currently within the limits of minimalism, to which the color scale is adapted.

GREGOVÁ Katarína (*1999) Student of the Studio of Graphics and Experimental Creation. In her work she solves the issue of identity, corporeality, the myth of beauty, social ideals, relationships. She devotes herself to painting, graphic techniques and is very close to her free, expressive drawing, which usually becomes the starting medium.
KECER Matúš (*1999) Student of the Studio of Graphics and Experimental Creation. Matúš Kecer likes to experiment when creating and often uses spray or blow markers. Recently, he has been inspired, among other things, by the aesthetics of computer games, in which he uses the possibilities of various shapes and structures. Overall, he prefers "chance" in his work, which can amplify and shift the final expression of the work into a more interesting form.
TAKÁČ Alexander (*1994) He began his studies in the studios of New Media and Intermedia, then moved to the Studio of Graphics and Experimental Creation, where he is currently completing the master degree. In his work, he studies his own identity and transcendental themes. He also works with pop culture such as games and music.
