LENKA KOZLÍKOVÁ

About LK in the words of others:

“I do not understand art professionally. I either gratefully perceive paintings or they are indifferent to me.

The paintings of Lenka Kozlíková are not indifferent to me. They are human, they are mysterious.

I feel SOMETHING from them that I cannot name, but it is familiar to me. They call out to me with an S-O-S, simultaneously frightening and comforting.

They are colorful, bright and dark at the same time. Unmissable. Each one seems to struggle, to wrestle, with itself.

I do the same throughout my life. Believing that if I do not give up the fight, I may not be a winner, but I do not lose honor.

With the certainty that scars are not a disgrace but a distinction. I think Lenka Kozlíková perceives the world similarly, and therefore I feel on the same wavelength with her paintings as in a flock of useful, insistent question marks.

And for that, I thank her.”

“When I look at Lenka's paintings, I can't help feeling that I'm seeing a part of her soul.

Often it's very intense, indescribable. I still don't quite understand how someone can express such depth with colors.

Maybe it's because of Lenka's life story, maybe the music she listens to while creating her art influences her so much. Either way,

Lenka manages to evoke in me the desire to search in the depths of her scenes for hidden motifs and messages,

but at the same time, I feel that she doesn't push me and leaves me free in interpretation.

And I think that's exceptional.

The French Impressionist composer Claude Debussy once said that music is the silence between notes. I see that silence between notes in Lenka's paintings…“

“About artistic beauty, the immediate, first impression kind, everyone can speak differently and each of us has their own view.

It's subjective and influencable. Beauty is part of the huge concept of 'value'. Here, we enter a realm that shapes the development of all humanity. Artistic value develops a person, it's part of our being. Whether it comes from film, theater, music, or visual expression. It's different from decoration or art for relaxation. It's worth constantly discovering and interpreting further.

Lenka Kozlíková is a sensitive painter. Her inner life can creatively transform into an artistic statement that speaks. With beauty, but also with the depth of color, composition, shape. Thoughts, or feelings. She is one of the contemporary artists who create on the canvas painted stories in an inexplicable language. Reading them is deeply rooted in feelings and freedom, just as the author's journey to their creation. In them, you can feel not only the originality of the handwriting but above all the uniqueness of the artistic language, which is simply accessible only for a certain moment. At the next, you need to stop and wait for the painting to discover you. The viewers. And to hint at what you sometimes miss. The value of existence.

I recently discovered her and was captivated. It was her art that shone among the diversity of other authors and caught my attention. It is art about the beauty of existence.”
