A Cat Observing the Germination of Barley Painting

About The Artwork
This is an interior of the old malt house, where cats are promoted to the level of the gods, as in ancient Egypt, for their ability to hunt mice and rats. As the highest authority the cat sits on the window and controls the production of malt. The rat runs to the right, but the cat does not care because it is too busy with its new task of observing the barley. It is a parallel to the division of labor in human society. Besides it, I wanted to show the poetry of traditional malt production that slowly dies in competition with mass malt production in fully automated factories.

Czech Republic
A self-taught painter (my so far profession is civil engineering), fond of drawing from childhood. After failure to admit to the Academy of Fine Arts, I chose a University of Economy in Prague and two years later the Czech Technical University in Prague. For the next 15 years, I have been trying to earn enough money as a construction engineer to become a free painter. During this period I did not even paint painting at all. After reaching the age of 40, I found out that this will not work. So I try to limit my civil work and start painting again. I like searching for beauty in ordinary things. Among my favorite painters include Rembrandt, Monet and David Hockney.
