"In the contemporary art scene, where the fusion of disparate disciplines has become a norm yet often lacks depth, Alexandra Dyalee emerges as a singular figure, bridging the gap between mathematical formalism and emotive human expression. This ambitious and talented artist intertwines the rational language of mathematics with the ephemeral and fragile nature of human relationships, producing a body of work that is as intellectually provocative as it is emotionally resonant. Her creations stand as rare confluences of art, science, and personal philosophy, carved from her unique background as a mathematician, artist, and champion triathlete."
Early-evening hour at Times Square, New York, on January 23rd, 2025.
With the cooperation of the PLOGIX online gallery, paintings In Via (2021) and Numeri Nexum (2020) have been exhibited on a digital screen at Times Square.
I’ve always seen competition as something exciting and deeply stimulating—in the best sense of the word. Over the years, I’ve taken part in many, many events…
And I’m still eager for new challenges to come!

Sport competitions have a uniquely ♥ special ♥ place in my heart.
Over the years, they haven’t just shaped my physical abilities — they’ve taught me a great deal about life, perseverance, and identity.
Here are my very favourite personal bests:
PBs: 3000m – 10:01 | 1500m
– 4:35
And here’s a selection of highlights from my career:
• I became an 8× National Champion in junior categories, running the 1500m, 3000m, and cross-country.
• Representing my university on the world stage, I earned silver and bronze medals in the 3000m at the World Inter-University Championships.
• I competed four times at the European Championships, in both cross-country and aquathlon — electrifying experiences that challenged and shaped me.
• Across disciplines, I’ve stood on the National Championships podium 19 times, from track distances (1500m–10,000m) to triathlon and aquathlon.
• In 2017, I proudly brought home a Triathlon Bronze and Aquathlon Silver from the National Cup series, still as a junior.
Even though performance sports can make us feel unstoppable, the truth is — our bodies are fragile at peak intensity.
In 2019, I was forced to pause everything. I fell into a deep, endogenic depression, accompanied by panic attacks — and for a while, I had no choice but to step away.
The thing is, when your brain runs low on serotonin, it doesn’t just affect your mind. It disrupts your whole body — your sleep, appetite, energy levels, resilience, and even your ability to recover physically. That period tested me to the core – and in no way only as an athlete.
Since 2024, I’ve been doing everything I can to get back on track.
And after all it took, I’ll say this openly:
A comeback is mentally far harder than competing ever was.
But I believe —
And I'll see you then at the championships.

I was invited to speak as a panelist on the occasion of World Autism Awareness Day, at an event organized by Modrá hliadka. Alongside two other women diagnosed with Asperger’s, we shared personal insights into what it means to navigate life as a masking woman on the spectrum, how we relate to the concept of motherhood, or whether it truly serves us to group all autism-related conditions under a single umbrella.
As a part of the Comenius University family in Bratislava, I was invited to speak in a panel discussion on the interconnection of art and mathematics, held on the occasion of the POHODA Festival in 2024. I excitedly shared the idea that both fields do serve as languages — one being emotionally-cognitive (art), and the other universal (mathematics).
ABSTRACT (ENG)
On the extraordinary occasion of the opening of the new inclusive bookstore Prímerie in the vibrant cultural space of Nová Cvernovka in Bratislava, I was invited to join a panel discussion on the essence of neurodiversity, alongside Vera Štabrila and Aneta Rabadová, moderated by Martin Staňo.
In early spring 2024, I was invited to take part in a thoughtful panel discussion hosted by UNION, alongside Hana Kamenistá and moderated by Oli Džupi, on how to approach neurodiversity in highly competitive career fields — with the aim of preventing burnout while still allowing individuals to reach their full potential.
