Hana Hasilik lives and works as a freelance artist in Marburg, Hesse. Her art evolved into concrete and later into constructive - concrete minimal expression.

She uses white clay as a material. Her works are fired, then sanded and left unglazed. The white color of the clay supports the clear forms of her sculptures.

As a constant form she chose the lentoid, a kind of biconvex lens. Her art pieces are constructed from individual lentoids and their groups on rectangular supports. 

Hana Hasilik is a member of the professional association of visual artists BBK (the Berufsverband Bildender Künstler) in Germany.

Hana Hasilik
In constantly new structures and combinations, Hana Hasilik explores the artistic potential of a basic geometric element, the biconvex lentoid, realizing not only rows but also stable and pseudo-stable states between standing and lying, between supports and falls. Hana Hasilik's sculptures, although static, evoke the suggestion of a movement captured in sequential snapshots, as it were as a plastic analogy to the series photographs, by means of which Eadweard Muybridge first captured movement sequences as such in the 19th century.

Hana Hasilik's lentoids
The symmetrical biconvex lentoid is a natural shape, one of basic shapes of life with the ability to unfold and grow, to pass information. It is a means of creating real and virtual images of our macro- and micro-cosmos. In their multiplicity and in multitude of their assemblies the lentoids represent flexibility and changeability of interpersonal or social relationships and structures with the ever varied position of individuum being a challenge in the activity and creativity of an artist.
