Esther Knapová (born 1993), in 2013-2019 AVU in Prague (painting studio doc. Vladimír Skrepl).

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.

Ester Knap for 100pcs

In my work I mostly be interested in my personal memory and personal memories, which are increasingly overlapped with what I experience now. Painting is an ideal medium where it connects times and I can express myself both through the past and through the present. The color is important to me through which I express emotions or atmosphere of the place, which is important to me.

The image of the orchards is from a series of paintings inspired by the fairy tale Lion's Heart brothers from Astrid Lindgren, which were presented at the exhibition in the darkness in the study of the bay. The first book I read as a kid tells myself tells a strong emotional story of two brothers in which the feeling of hopelessness and fear of absolute happiness alternates. The orchard is a free illustration of the cherry valley where part of the story takes place. It is a symbol of relief and safety for me.
