Pablo De Choros

Pablo de Choros is a Czech painter from Děčín in North Bohemia. He has been painting since 2004 – landscapes, towns, animals and people in oil, charcoal and pastel, often alla prima and en plein air, outdoors in front of the subject.

His work moves between the light of Impressionism and the gesture of Expressionism: sandstone valleys and castle ruins along the Elbe, the baroque streets of Litoměřice, Czechoslovakian wolfdogs and horses. Alongside single paintings he works in series – the oil triptych “The Air Is Burning”, the autumn series “Before the Leaves Fall” and “22 Days”, a daily visual record made during a period of isolation.

He works slowly and with focus; what matters to him is the durability and the meaning of a painting. For the past five years he has painted in a modest, improvised studio after a fire damaged part of his previous collection. Most of the paintings survived, and the experience strengthened his belief that art carries its own resilience.
