Eva Haskova - etching, Fantasy representation, Table with roses

Fantasy representation with flowers in a vase, with animal representations and a portrait of a woman. About Eva Haskova: born in 1946 in Kladno: "I don't wait for inspiration. I seek inspiration, and sometimes I'm quite stubborn about it. I don't want to repeat what has been done before. Everyone asks me why I make buildings. It's really hard to explain. It's not my goal to do architecture as such, but it suits me to use it as a tool to express my feelings - what catches my attention, what I think about. I need to be emotional to be able to work on something. It's more about me than about buildings. I also want to create an atmosphere. Everything depends on the composition in my work. At the same time, I love history. Before, I couldn't imagine making a print without a figure. Only later did I realize that it was possible. It actually benefits the final print if the figure disappears; only the setting remains." Curator Alena Laufrova: "​Eva Hašková is an established artist with great technical and thematic ingenuity. She creates both small and large prints, using the etching and aquatint technique. In recent years, she has abandoned her illustrative approach to printmaking. Her works have become monumental compositions. Drawing elements or details are constructed as part of the dominant motif – architecture, often conveying the artist's own experiences and memories. Hašková's prints reveal contrasting volumes, lines and fine structures with remarkable use of light and shadow. Her works do not lack dynamism and inner tension. In Eva Hašková's prints, architectural motifs have become an authentic symbol of one person's fate".
