About the Artist
Maria Gabankova was born to artistic parents and grew up in former Czechoslovakia. Following the Warsaw Pact Invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, Maria’s family fled the country and eventually immigrated to Canada. In Canada, Gabanova received several degrees in the fine arts and taught at the Ontario College of Art and Design. Gabankova’s experiences haunt her work. Primarily figurative, Gabankova’s paintings explore the body as a site for memory, home, and suffering. She now lives and works in Toronto, Ontario.
