Artist, Czech, born 1952

The image shows sweeping, curved lines in shades of green and black. The abstract composition resembles natural forms like waves or rolling hills from an aerial view. The curved lines intersect and overlap smoothly, resembling brushstrokes or streams of paint, evoking fluidity and motion. The interplay of dark and vibrant colors creates depth and richness, similar to the rhythm of nature.
