My name is Peter Daxner and I was born in Nové Zámky, Slovakia. Many know me by my artistic name Petrík Daxner. I am 12 years old and art is an essential part of my life. I really enjoy painting on canvas, using acrylic paints and permanent markers. In my work, I love to combine the real world with strict geometry, the play of colors, lines, and various textures. Back home in Slovakia, I have already had the opportunity to organize several of my own solo exhibitions, which brings me immense joy. When I was 8 years old, I had my first solo exhibition at my school. Since then, I have had solo exhibitions in various institutions in Slovakia. In 2025, I had my seventh solo exhibition at the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic in Bratislava. In 2024, my exhibition was also visited by the President of the Slovak Republic and the Minister of Culture of the Slovak Republic. My paintings are not just a personal joy to me – through selling and donating them, I also try to help children and adults in difficult situations through auctions. Yes, I am still young, but I hope that my works, which I create with love from the bottom of my heart and with maximum dedication, will interest you.Participating in the Arte Laguna Prize competition is a dream come true, allowing me to showcase my art abroad for the first time because I believe that young art brings new perspectives on the world, its perception, and support. Thank you for reading. Have a nice day
