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.
