Pavel Kryz

Pavel Kryz paints landscapes, idylls, portraits as well as street life images. He records scenes from movies, photographs and transforms them into abstract motifs, which he finally recombines to form a realistic unit. He discovered a new freedom of expression in realistic painting. In his works painting becomes an independent tool of expression without necessarily patronizing the audiences. The image builds its relation directly to the audience.The author amplifies the visual experience and presents it with confidence, that the image will find its own path to the heart of the viewer.
