Description
In the painting *Salad*, Klaudie Švrčková depicts a man with his eyes closed amidst a sea of leaves. His face is serene, almost resigned; the surrounding shapes resemble the greenery that both envelops and holds him.
The artist works in her characteristic impasto style with strong contours. The gray scale strips the motif of unnecessary literalism and allows a quiet, inner state to shine through.
The impression is one of a momentary escape or quiet acceptance. A hand-painted original that brings tranquility, intimacy, and a sense of being in the midst of something alive to the space. A painting that breathes quietly.
