About The Artwork

When I was working on this painting, outside the wind was blowing a gale. The clouds racing across the skies, the sun peeking out, fleetingly, the light constantly changing, and outside, a small blackbird lies at the bottom of the garden, struck down by the forces of nature. They are so curious and friendly, the blackbirds, following me around the garden when I am digging, finding the little grubs and worms I uncover. I'm very sad about the blackbird and as soon as the winds die, I will dig a small hole for her to rest. I'm wishing for a change in season, for the sun to warm our little corner of the earth once again, but for now I will be grateful for the warmth and calm of my studio. There are a lot of small details in the work, the birds, the clouds, a burst of pink flowers in the corner. As with all my work, there is a lot of structure, a lot of paint on the canvas. Thanks for taking an interest in my work. Best, Renata

I'm a contemporary Czech artist, specializing in semi-abstract sea and landscapes, and I sometimes delve into portraiture. My art blends traditional techniques with unconventional methods, aiming for expressive, abstract outcomes. Drawing from memory, I create work that is essentially non confrontational, rather it evokes intimacy and isolation, and is open to personal interpretation. My starting point is usually the landscape around me and the final work will have a flavour of those colours and shapes, but with an abstract quality to them. I'm influenced by masters like Twombly, Motherwell, Avery, Vermeer, Turner, and Rembrandt, I merge their styles into my own. Surface preparation of my canvas is crucial; I layer primer for texture, letting my marks take root while allowing fluid paint movement. Thin glazes form layers on a limited palette. Base colors influence or emerge through subsequent layers, shaped by sanding or drawing. The process guides the painting's direction, with original elements reintegrated. I craft distinct paintings with rich textures, layers, poured paint, and brush strokes. This escape from mass visuals resonates in private collections around the world.
