Esther Knapová (born 1993), in 2013-2019 AVU in Prague (painting studio doc. Vladimír Skrepl). Work: Combines, 2022, canvas oil, 151 × 121 cm

Ester Knap sees the landscape as a space for possible finding and sharing memories of different distances in time. In fact, the landscape itself becomes a material for purely painting memory processing. Photographic templates of specific places from the family archive, usually associated with childhood, are a memory switch that brings freely over time and more than what else is watching the inner dimension of the memory, ie the presence in the emotion and atmosphere it wants to create. But they are not always just autobiographical moments that lead the author's hand. The image of the combine harvester is presented by the story of a little boy who had hair color identical to ripening grain, and therefore he often lost his parents in the field. The name "combine harvester" then announces the possibility of danger that in such a situation can awaken the exalted parental imagination and sensitivity.

I paint with an oil on a canvas and it is a crucial atmosphere in the paintings. Whether a place or a feeling of it. And I try to achieve it through different color tuning or color search.

This image is called combine harvesters and is one of the few images that has a specific story. The story of my friend who told me about how he ran in the field for the combine harvesters. His mom couldn't find him in the field because his hair was the same color as wheat. I really liked this moment - two figures of children who are lost in the field, but at the same time they appear there when you are looking for them for a while.
