Česky Gallery 33 – Jana Šafránková

The oil pictures I am introducing here were painted in the recent couple of years. As a result, I have had just a few exhibitions so far.
Earlier, the pictures I painted from time to time were not oils but watercolours, temperas or lithographs. At that time, I was predominantly designing magazines, catalogues, posters, formal invitations or labels and worked on special effects and advertisements for the movie industry. One of the most attractive parts of my work I still enjoy a lot is calligraphy.
Nowadays I paint mainly pictures inspired by nature. I like to look around, searching for a gorgeous flower, beautiful tree or an interesting landscape and letting them affect my senses. That is the time to take a brush, a palette and a canvas and start to work.

Now, who are my favourite painters?
Paul Cézanne, André Derain, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Vincent van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec and mainly "the blue period" of Pablo Picasso. From czech artists Antonín Chittussi, Vilém Nowak, František Tichý, Josef Čapek, František Kupka and Jindřich Šrýrský.
