Jan Prejsnar

My art is driven by color, energy, and a fascination with the vitality of nature.

I paint gardens, flowers and imagined landscapes not as precise representations of what I see, but as expressions of how a place, a season or a moment feels. Flowers become gestures, stems become rhythm, and layers of dots, splashes, drips and sweeping lines create environments that seem to grow across the canvas.

Color is at the heart of my work. Deep cobalt blues and vibrant turquoise often form the background for intense pinks, reds, oranges, yellows and greens. I am drawn to strong contrasts and to the way unexpected combinations of color can completely change the atmosphere of a space.

My process is physical and intuitive. Paint is layered, splashed, dripped and worked directly onto the surface, creating texture, movement and a sense of spontaneity. I like the balance between control and unpredictability - starting with an idea, but allowing the painting to develop its own direction as I work.

Nature remains my greatest source of inspiration. Gardens in full bloom, wild meadows, flowering trees, water and landscapes repeatedly find their way into my paintings. Even when the work becomes more abstract, there is often something organic beneath it: growth, movement, light and the feeling of being surrounded by nature.

Alongside my floral works, I explore more gestural abstraction, geometric compositions and contemporary landscapes. These different directions allow me to experiment, but the same ideas connect them: color, movement, optimism and energy.

I want my paintings to have an immediate presence. From across a room, they should attract you through scale and color. Up close, they reveal something different - layers of paint, individual marks, textures and small details that may not be noticed at first.

For me, art does not need to be distant or difficult to understand. It can simply make us feel something.

My ambition is to create paintings that bring vitality into the spaces in which people live and work, pieces that become part of an interior, but never disappear into it.
