About Marek Hospodarsky

I prefer oil on canvas, medium-large size. I'm interested in man and his secret relationship to higher forces and latent tendencies. Likewise, I am fascinated by the banality of life, relationships between people and great respect for nature. Painting, for me, is a way of looking on a world around us. It helps me to express all the things that i can`t express by word or a different way. I`m interested especially for human and it`s way to live. In existential, spiritual but even physical terms. On painting i find most interesting the possibility of capturing of imperceptible manifestation of secret and mystery of existence. It`s all just a hint that`s hiding under ostensibly simple art expression. I often work with existing photos that can be found on the Internet. I do not find it so important what is on the picture as it is how it is done in the painting. So not "what" but "how".

Education:

I have an university degree in subject: "theory of art and aesthetics" on Masaryk`s university.
I finished the school in 1994. After college I've been involved in different branches of art: film,design,interior design,wall decor etc. Since 2009 i began painting professionally. So far i have never been participant in any group exhibitions and about the solo exhibitions - i have had few, but neither of these is worth talking. I probably wait for a really good opportunity which will really interest me. Anyway, i don`t rush. Painting is a way of life for me, not a way to satisfy my ambitions.

Living and working in Prague.
