Description
In her painting *Osteichthyes*, Klaudie Švrčková depicts a male profile looking upward. The face is bathed in a cool blue, while the hair and clothing remain in deep black. His mouth is slightly open, as if capturing a breath or a silent cry.
The artist works in her characteristic impasto style with strong contours. The blue area of the face appears almost like a different substance, separated from the rest of the body. A tension arises between the earthly and that which lies above it.
A hand-painted original that brings a sense of bated breath and quiet contemplation to the space. A painting that draws the gaze upward.
