With this term, I mean, for example, stones such as menhirs, various rock formations in the landscape, or sacred trees that share the same space with us but not the same time. For these witnesses, our life is merely a minor episode. They are witnesses to the transformations of the surrounding landscape and our lives, beside which ours appears as a fleeting existence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n According to the Romanian philosopher Mircea Eliade, natural phenomena, including stones, rocks, and trees, can shine with sacred significance. They emerge from the homogeneous stream of perceptions as something extraordinary. This means that they simultaneously point beyond themselves. A sacred stone or tree suddenly seems to be bathed in holy light. It becomes a living cipher of transcendence. I attempted to capture such a moment in paintings that rely on real natural templates, such as stones at Klepec, the rock in Svat\u00fd Jan pod Skalou, or the monolith Velk\u00fd past\u00fd\u0159 near the village of Klobuky. I have pulled them from their natural environment and bathed them in light. They are individuals that captivate with their inner strength. They are magical, if you will. They have become destinations for pilgrims, places that compel a person to quietness and reflection. For these three paintings, I worked with natural pigments and clay gathered from their region. They are thus created from what they truly originate from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Painting with Magnets<\/strong>
On canvas, I primarily work with magnetic fields. As a starting point, I use ferromagnets, as well as iron filings and sometimes acrylic paints. I create various shapes from metal filings using magnets and secure them to the canvas with paint, adhesives, and other liquids. I use ferromagnets of different sizes, with which I can create diverse compositions and actively determine the character of the magnetic fields. My works can have both abstract and figurative expressions.
Another natural process involved in my painting is corrosion, which gives my paintings earthy brown tones. However, I can also work with colours just like in „classical“ painting and create various colour transitions. I can however only control the corrosion of the metal filings to a certain extent; the full colour result only reveals itself after the drying time, which can take weeks. Thus, waiting and observing the colour changes is always a great adventure.
Through my painting and graphic work, I draw attention to nature and its laws, which are often invisible to the human eye, and on my canvases, I strive to capture and make visible at least a brief moment of its existence.<\/summary>\n

Heavy Clouds<\/strong>
The cycle of works titled \u201cHeavy Clouds\u201d relates to our existence \u2013 clouds have accompanied humanity since its very beginnings. It is enough to simply lift one’s head and gaze at them.
This theme led me to further contemplation on the relationship between nature and mythology. Ancient gods often shrouded heroes in clouds to help them escape their fate. The cloud is often a part of deception and trickery. In the Bible, clouds separate the heavenly and earthly realms, but they also sometimes represent the very presence of God. Clouds can also symbolise the search for something higher up there. They can conceal, but in doing so, they point to what is meant to be hidden, and their presence alerts, reveals, and thus stirs our curiosity.<\/summary>\n
Sv\u011bdci \u010dasu<\/strong>
Dal\u0161\u00edm t\u00e9matem jsou \u201esv\u011bdci\u201c. Pod t\u00edmto pojmem rozum\u00edm nap\u0159\u00edklad kameny, jako jsou menhiry, r\u016fzn\u00e9 skaln\u00ed \u00fatvary v krajin\u011b nebo i posv\u00e1tn\u00e9 stromy, kter\u00e9 s n\u00e1mi sd\u00edlej\u00ed stejn\u00fd prostor, ale ne \u010das. Pro tyto sv\u011bdky je n\u00e1\u0161 \u017eivot pouze drobnou epizodou. Jsou to sv\u011bdci prom\u011bn okoln\u00ed krajiny a na\u0161ich \u017eivot\u016f, vedle nich\u017e vypad\u00e1 ten n\u00e1\u0161 jako \u017eivot jepi\u010d\u00ed.
Podle rumunsk\u00e9ho filozofa Mircea Eliadeho se mohou p\u0159\u00edrodn\u00ed jevy, v\u010detn\u011b kamen\u016f, skal a strom\u016f, rozz\u00e1\u0159it posv\u00e1tn\u00fdm v\u00fdznamem.

Posv\u00e1tn\u00fd k\u00e1men nebo strom je n\u00e1hle jakoby zalit sv\u011btlem. St\u00e1v\u00e1 se \u017eivouc\u00ed \u0161ifrou transcendence.

Jedn\u00e1 se o individua, kter\u00e1 upoutaj\u00ed svou vnit\u0159n\u00ed silou. Jsou magick\u00e1, chceme-li.

Zahrady jsou v um\u011bn\u00ed \u010dasto zobrazov\u00e1ny jako prostory relaxace a meditace. Mohou evokovat pocit harmonie a klidu. Moje zahrady jsou v\u0161ak sp\u00ed\u0161e zobrazen\u00edm neklidu, neust\u00e1l\u00e9ho pohybu, kolob\u011bhu p\u0159\u00edrody, ale vit\u00e1ln\u00ed s\u00edly, kter\u00e1 je p\u0159\u00edrod\u011b vlastn\u00ed.<\/summary>\n
Gardens<\/strong>
The plant kingdom contrasts with its delicacy and fragility against the robustness of rocks and the seemingly immutable forms of their structures. Gardens are often depicted in art as spaces for relaxation and meditation. They can evoke a sense of harmony and tranquillity. However, my gardens are more a depiction of unrest, constant movement, the cycle of nature, and the vital force inherent in nature.<\/summary>\nGrafika\/Graphics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Graphics<\/strong>
In my graphic work, I primarily use the techniques of the Czech artist Vladim\u00edr Boudn\u00edk (1924 \u2013 1968), which I have studied theoretically for many years. These include active, structural, and especially magnetic graphics, which I \u201crevived\u201d with the support of the painter Old\u0159ich Hamera (1944 \u2013 2021).
Monotype
<\/strong> While working in this technique, I managed to develop my own process. I create images that are not unlike the dendritic patterns of nature, which we can often admire on frozen windows in winter, but they can also be part of the drawing of agates. I mimic the creative power of nature and again work with the help of its principles, which teach a person not only about our world but also much about themselves.
With this technique, I have created several thematic cycles. These include stones and crystals, a figurative cycle titled Total Torsos, and abstract works in which I combine monotype and magnetic graphics.<\/summary>\n
