As part of Krištof Kintera's work, which is mainly devoted to monumental realizations in gallery and public space, the drawing has its unique place. It allows a quick response, it is a diary recording everyday ideas, thoughts and visions. In a simple form with elements of humor and irony comments on the world around us, its funny and alarming opposites. These drawings arise from a specific technique, the artist himself calls it a current drawing or a high voltage drawing. On the 100pcs.cz platform, Engine of Life has been the third press representing this technique. The first was the figure We Don't Know How It Works, the other was the brain like Dreams Generator, the heart - the engine of life is the last press from the series.

Krištof Kintera for 100pcs

These drawings are created by a very specific technique. I call it a jet drawing or a high voltage drawing. The machine is written in Cyrillic Lichtenberg. Lichtenberg was a Baroque German scientist and thinker. He was the first to display these small lightning, which was actually the very first display of electric current or voltage. That's why this is called Lichtenberg's patterns. But the roots of trees and plants also look like form. Everything actually leads to some similar morphology, and it is a bewitching, fascinating.
