Description
This contemporary artwork depicts two figures in an intimate embrace, set against a surreal landscape. The vivid colors, geometric shapes, and distinctive style suggest a Cubist influence. The central figures, rendered in shades of blue and white, appear to be in a contemplative or melancholic state, conveying a sense of sorrow or longing.

Vojtěch Kovařík
B.1993, CzechVojtěch Kovařík's work is a pantheon in which the gods and goddesses of Greek mythology crowd together and where there are so many figures confined in frames too narrow to contain the weight of their own symbolism. These once extraordinary beings are no longer triumphant. They are summoned in paintings and sculptures in the style of the muralists Diego Riviera and José Clemente Orozco. Kovařík was also inspired by the national socialist art strategies prevalent before the collapse of the USSR, two years before being born in the Czech Republic.
