The Psychological Portait
Pokorná, Barbora ; Smetana, Matěj (referee) ; Kvíčala, Petr (advisor)
My work called "Psychological portrait" contain two different series - self-portraits and portraits of my friends. The both of them are reflecting mental state of human, but each of them in different way. The friends are portrayed in the way how I personally perceive them, whereas self-portraits recapitulate several important moments of my life which affected me during the last year. The paintings are very personal, so people who don´t know me are not able to understand it very well. The important is, that the pictures should give the impression and arouse the questions - it is intensified by the titles, which slightly uncover their content. At the same time each of the series are somehow connected to the my previous works, which I made during the study, so it is some kind of completion of my previous creation.
