Description
In her painting *Asterix*, Klaudie Švrčková depicts a man wearing a winged helmet and a long braid, gazing off to the side. His profile is firm; his mustache and expression capture the character of this well-known figure without veering into caricature.
The artist works in her characteristic impasto style with strong contours. The gray scale strips the motif of unnecessary exaggeration and allows its dignity and quiet determination to shine through.
A hand-painted original that brings strength, humor, and a sense of indomitable spirit to the space. A painting that looks right back at you and stands its ground.
Acrylic with tempera.
