Daniela Safrankova

I was born in 1974 in Prague, Czechoslovakia, where I live now, although I do most of my work at my studio in south Bohemia. I work almost exclusively with oil on canvas to create vibrant landscapes, both urban and rural. My work has been shown in various galleries in the Czech Republic and the United States, and can also be seen at my website ."The work of Daniela Safrankova is a masterful interpretation of our coexistence with nature. Safrankova paints what she sees and what she feels, plainly and civilly, without seeking spectacular moments she finds them instinctually. Her powerful lines and distinctive coloring lead us into her world. Her color scheme is influenced by her life in California, by the different light, and is of primary importance in the intensity of Safrankovas emotional message. Her work- empathetic, understandable and gracious- is a valuable contribution to contemporary Czech landscape painting." Dusan Sedlacek, PhD.
