Adrián Kriška (*1997, Liptovský Mikuláš, Slovakia) is a Slovak visual artist and gardener currently based in Spain. Working primarily with textile, he repurposes deadstock leather and fabrics to create large-scale, patchwork-like hanging pieces and objects. In 2024 he permanently relocated to a rural part of Fuerteventura, where he is co-restoring an old stone ruin to establish an artist residency, cultural hub, garden, and small organic farm. This building process has expanded his practice to include woodworking and sculpture, with the skills he acquires feeding directly into his artistic work. Key themes in Kriška’s practice include queerness, minority identity politics, ecology, and racial inequality, explored through a mythopoetic and symbolic visual language. His work merges pagan folklorism with contemporary queer theory, drawing inspiration from queer cinematography and the underground music of the 1980s and 1990s. 

He studied at the Center for Audiovisual Studies (CAS) at FAMU under Marie Lukáčová and completed an internship at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam in the VAV – Moving Image department. In 2024 he was awarded the Visegrad Residency at the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) in New York City.
