Macha Contemplation

Project is based on poem, called May, written by romantic poet Karel Hynek Macha. The whole poem is evolving from pretty nice, lovely scenes, gradually into horror, ending very badly. In fact, it is about two young people, girl and burglar, and burglar is hanged after he murdered father of that girl. What surprised me in that poem, Macha really created sort of "photographic" piece - you can find there a lot of scenes like in the movie. It is really amazing to read and to imagine and then go and find them :-) This is my first attempt for personal project, motivated by literature. I very much believe, that there is a clear connection between different forms of art – painting, photographing, literature, music, theatre, movies,…

I am a photographer, a photographer of stories in the landscape of mind. I try to look at the world around me, and despite all its complexity, superficiality and speed, I present its beauty in an unusual, inventive way. I take pictures of joy, freedom, melancholy, sadness or fairy-tale, roughness, infinity… I am attracted by impressionism and positive image. I still feel strongly influenced by the painters who worked with light, color, shapes in the landscape, from Turner, through Monet to Van Gogh, to Šíma. Perhaps, one day, I approach them at least in sight .
