In the years 2015 - 2017, he studied at the University of Fine Arts in the 4th studio under the guidance of prof. Ivan Csudai. In the period 2010 - 2014, he studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the BUT in Brno, Painting 3, under Professor Martin Mainer. In 2013, he completed an internship at L'École de Recherche graphique in Brussels and in 2019 an artist residency at Plants AiR in Novi Sad. He lives and works in Prague. He is a five-time finalist of the Painting competition (2019-2023). During his work, Juraj Ďuriš came to the realization that "the essence lies in the very process of seeing". This is also why he is interested in the processes (but also stereotypes) of perception of the surrounding world and of art as such. He notices the role consciousness plays in these events, the ability to formulate thoughts and sensory experiences through language or the recognition of signs. The focus of his interest shifts from the human presence as a thinking and feeling being. He seeks inspiration in various environments - from classical painting to advertising and graffiti. however, he updates them for the needs of the 21st century.He handles them thoughtfully and with wit. The competition work The Flood (2023) is the result of the author's long-term interest in the theme of the monument and the shipping industry in connection with climate change. This interest quite logically alludes to the classic biblical story of Noah's Ark. In the context of recent information about the construction of gigantic cruise ships (Icon of the Sea) or fires of cargo and tanker cargo ships and subsequent ecological disasters, the definition of Ďuriš's problem is fundamentally relevant. As the author himself notes: “The Great Flood is definitely coming again. The paintings thus urgently encourage us to take rescue measures, even at the cost of disintegrating our monuments and reevaluating their historical significance from the point of view of survival."
