Pavel Besta

Mr. Besta in his paintings captures not only polarity but, above all, the penetration of two environments; the natural - South Bohemian landscape and the artificial - human dwellings. About his work he says: "From the lives of people, the fates of the home are tied up, generations are banging their beating hearts, their hopes and lost illusions, laughs and tears of disappointment in a damp plaster, the faded traces of ancestors washed by the rain of forgetfulness. Children are born with a touching tenderness in their eyes and then they leaving. "There's only a strangely quiet house left, a peeled plaster, a blind window, and a scar that never gets completely restored."
