Stela Csizmazia (Morphine) is a Slovak-born, London-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice is shaped by inheritance, fracture, and the quiet, persistent weight of memory. Grounded in nearly a decade of photographic inquiry, her work fluidly traverses boundaries between mediums, expanding into sculpture, installation, moving image, and performance art. These explorations unfold into multi-sensory realms, reaching beyond visual representation into emotional, ancestral, and bodily territories.

Stela’s artworks speak through intimate encounters between organic and inorganic materials—steel and fabric, stone and skin—each element resonating with its own history, memory, and emotional charge. The resulting works hold both tenderness and tension, embodying the unresolved intricacies of personal and collective identity. Through deliberate gestures of rupture and repair, she creates spaces in which contradictions coexist and reverberate: comfort alongside pain, silence against scream, purity intertwined with contamination.

Her practice is deeply rooted in exploring complexities of identity, hybridity, and remembrance, drawing strength and vulnerability from her multicultural background and the tensions it inherently carries. Employing both analog and advanced digital methods, Stela’s creative process reveals emotional residue, ancestral connections, and domestic rituals through materials that are personal, symbolic, and tactile.


Under the evocative alias Morphine, her practice remains unapologetically poetic, raw, and resonant: continually crafting spaces for contemplation, vulnerability, and the transformative power of memory. Stela’s intuitive yet rigorously researched approach has garnered international recognition, leading to numerous prestigious awards and exhibitions throughout Europe.
