In Pursuit of Happiness Painting

My name is Marie Baboučková. I am a contemporary Czech painter, self-taught, born and living in České Budějovice, Czech Republic, Europe. For most of my life, I did not paint because many interests took me in other directions, such as beekeeping. In 2018, a life event, an accident, led me to self-study painting. I started with acrylic paints, but oil paints revolutionized my artwork. At first the styles cubism, surrealism and realism had the greatest influence on me, but I do not resist trying new styles and often combine them. For me, emotions, dreams, fantasy and respect for certain phases of history are a palette of colors that allow me to transfer indescribable moments of energy, movement and passion into my art. Despite the problems of today, I am an eternal optimist, which I hope is reflected in my paintings. Recently, I have been working on different styles in order to create the most original works that will appeal and inspire those who encounter them. I create proposals for paintings mainly on a graphic tablet, sometimes also in virtual reality. My web site:
