Radoslav Rochallyi
Radoslav Rochallyi (born 1 May 1980), Bardejov, Czechoslovakia is a Slovak philosopher, contemporary painter, and writer living in Malta, and the Czech Republic.
Rochallyi started writing poetry as a ten-year-old, and he published own works in magazines from the age of sixteen.
[7] According to Jan Balaz, the poetry of Radoslav Rochally is characterized by the use of a free verse, which gives the author the necessary freedom and directness to retain the specific nature of the testimony without embellishments.
[21][22] According to Dominik Petruška, Mythra Invictus is a highly abstract work in terms of the ideas it presents, but at the same time it is very concrete through the feelings of the main character.
The text evokes a strong aesthetic impression, which is ensured by the simple language in which complex philosophical questions are told.
[24] According to one of the reviews, Mythra Invictus focuses on the personal crisis of a male character named Caut.
[33][11][34][35] By Andrea Schmidt Rochallyi be able to find a bearable relationship between the mathematical formalism and freedom.
Schmidt, in a review in the Rain Taxi, writes that PUNCH can be considered one of the most important works of experimental poetry in the last decade.
Steven J Fowler in an annotation to the book # Mathaeata wrote that Rochallyi builds poetry in mathematical terms, situating a droll humour laced with Nietzchean declaration within the context of brilliantly innovative visual design.
[43] Mathematical poems from this collection, which Rochallyi translated into English, also appeared in journals published in the United States.
[46] His work includes mainly philosophy, visual arts, and poetry, while linking each of these elements with mathematical symbols.
In the field of creation, he was shaped by the works of early experimental avant-garde artists (painters and poets).
[49] In the French magazine Recours au poème n ° 212, Rochally's philosophy of creation is described as mathematical determinism.
[50] In an interview in the literary magazine Tiny spoon, he claims that all the free decisions we have made and will make are determined by the mathematical nature of reality.
[53] Schmidt argues that his Golden Divine is a prototype of formal fundamentalism in poetry, employing a restriction according to the Greek letter phi.
[56] In the Author's Note in Roanoke Review he mentioned that they both have symbolism, algorithmic basis, structures, formulas, and symmetry.
In such a case, we would not even be making poetry because the resulting poem would be a cluster of precisely positioned words, but without the general meaning.
His endeavor aims to investigate the semantics/semiotics of vectors in poetry as a response to the problem of creating meaningful patterns.
In vector poetry, words are arranged in a specific way to visually represent the poem's meaning.
His vector poetry captures states, space, and time to showcase a concise but poetic expression.
[71] His paintings have been exhibited, for example: In 2018, he won second and third place in the 2018 SSS Reader's Prize literary competition for the poetry collection Panoptikum and the prose book Letter for a Son.
[85] In 2023 he won the second place in the Percy Bysshe Shelley Remembered Poetry Contest organized by The GroundUp from NY, USA.
[88] In 2024, he was selected for an art residency in Slovakia[89] In 2024, he has been included in the Beep Painting Biennial 2024 at the Elysium Gallery.
