About The Artwork

"Misty Evening on the Water" is an abstract painting that draws its inspiration from the serene and enigmatic beauty of nature's water landscapes at dusk. The work is a homage to the subtle interplay of light and shadow, where the day's last light dances with the emerging night. Although it is a more muted painting, it is inspired by the works of the Impressionists, who captured the fleeting moments of natural light with their bold brushstrokes and colors. As the viewer interacts with the painting, I hope that they will be transported to a place of introspection and calm, where the worries of the day dissolve into the misty waters. Mostly I want the viewer to feel a sense of peace when they live with the painting. The choice of a oil paint on board as a medium is new to me, and I've found it very receptive to my style of working. The texture of the paint allows for expressive brushwork and layering, and using wooden board as a surface provides interesting stability, and allows me work with renewed confidence. The painting is sold unframed.

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.
