Sometimes it’s very difficult to remember how this or that visual story was formed and an artwork appeared. What are the details of the puzzle? A sketch of an interesting movement in a sketch book, birdwatching in a city park, a woman in an evening tram dressed in a black coat, seen and somehow holding my attention, a combination of black, white, ocher and English red in winter Prague colours, which caught my eye, English nursery rhyme, childhood memories ... All this together is somehow melted, mixed , often in secret even from the author, and the painting is obtained. Despite the combination of large local color relationships, this artwork is painted by brush in several layers , which allows us to convey the depth and metaphorical ambiguity of the character
