• Jiří Škodák (CZ) – painter
  From early childhood, drawing and painting were the most popular activities. Six years at the Vocational School in Rousínov and Vyškov under the guidance of M.Sc. Neužil. Studying in the graphic field of lithographer in Brno, also matriculating at the polygraphic industrial school. Preparation for the Academy of Fine Arts by the academic painter Hegre, not accepted due to a negative political opinion. After the first exhibition in Rousínov, any further artistic activity was impossible. Studying philosophy and theology, faced with a situation before graduation: to sign cooperation with STB, otherwise no prospect of any kind of social activity. Leaving the homeland due to complicated political-clerical conditions. Finishing his studies in Rome and then returning to the graphic profession in Munich. There the first exhibitions of paintings, regular meetings with artists in the Munich residence and lectures organized by Msgr. Otto. Member of the board of the Roseninsel artistic association. Returning home and continuing artistic activity. The study of philosophy was the key to the study of theology, history, history of art, sociology, psychology... This study made it possible to be aware of subconscious or suspected phenomena and this became decisive for my work. I consider it necessary that we do not lose our relationship with nature. The landscape is a meditation space for me. That is why there are no disturbing elements, including humans, who have already caused and are causing damage to the ecology of the landscape. I leave only architecture as an activity of the human spirit. I want to reach today's people with my work. "Man, pause, be quiet, look around you and think! Where are you rushing? What are you chasing? What are you striving for? What are you doing with your environment?" skodak.weebly.com
