About the work

Pavel Šmíd for 100pcs

I tried to modify the act of the 19th century to the current painting - to transfer the historical figure to today's visual language. I was interested in placing the body in a neutral space where it is not clear whether it is an interior or an exterior. It is a connection of color and figure.
