art works

The series of works on paper and cardboard presents abstract works, records in which relaxed acrylic painting and mainly oil pastel drawing prevail. One can read a subtle reflection of the reality of nature in them. A strong inspiration is the landscape, mountains, motifs of gardens, flowers, birds, fish, sea life, minerals. Drawings-paintings are supposed to create a light and ephemeral impression of a captured moment – such as the Impressionists did in the past. The records are fast, layered and a result of combination of different painting techniques. For some, paste paint or metallic paint was also used, but mainly a high-quality background in the form of paper or canvas.

Archive reproduction of the artwork by Miriama Schniererová. Her work is dominated by the theme of time, death, transience, which is lightened by the painting's colouring. The graphic is signed and numbered by the author, limited to 100 pieces.

Original drawing by illustrator Simona Smatana. Simona mainly focuses on book creation and, in addition to drawing, she also writes her own stories. Her children's picture books are characterized by deeper references and educational character and they have been awarded several times both at home and abroad. The main characters of the books continue to live their lives in the drawings where they often all together meet on a picnic, a hike or during other ordinary activities. The originals are drawn with crayons, numbered and signed.

A unique small drawing by Slavomíra Ondrušová captures everything around us, the themes of (self) love, discovering life's joys and oneself. Great expression on a small surface, with the author's typical lightness and kind humor. Each drawing is a unique original.

Archival print of an original work by Slávka Ondrušová which is part of her long-term project in which she creates a collection of drawing sketchbooks. Hundreds of subtle drawings were created as daily introspective records which document the individual experience and the need to record a specific period in which current regulations, isolation and absence of social interaction (covid era) affected inner psychological experience, focus and attention of the author, and also changed the view of priorities, values and perception of relationships.

Original work on canvas by painter Dominika Žáková.

The Areolis Germinis series is a natural response to a author's longer-lasting project/research which included the creation of a collection of paintings and lectures on the topic of colour theory. Completion of this project and final "release" from deep concentration and observance of certain rules of research resulted in a relaxed experimental position of the author's work. The Latin name Areolis germinis(trans. germination) becomes a direct metaphor for new variations and new ways of finding self-expression that the author brings to the audience.

It's good to find yourself and your pack again. To pour the truth into your eyes and be really here and now. Both head and body immersed in the present. Together.

Pickled in a glass, I am brewing another fragrant memory of us. When I was already alone and I felt good. How little startled I was, by how much time there suddenly was. 

I bathed my soul in cinnamon tea. Cigarette smoke. I was gently fanned by the salty breeze on the shore of something. The horizon stretched in the distance. I now sit on it like a horse and drink the memory. No photos remained, only places, breeze and stones. The feeling of my old body that will be forever young. I water my soul with cinnamon tea.
