Alžběta Skálová (* 1982) is known as an illustrator, but she also creates collages, films, graphics and especially watercolors and paintings. In his work, he deals with more topics, which he often processes in cycles.

Skálová perceives paintings as a partially unconscious, spiritual process. In the case of watercolor paintings, the motif arises spontaneously, based on the effect of colors, composition and the need to capture it. The interest in ignorance leads her to a very intuitive approach. Subsequent work is very focused, fast and careful and is preceded by a long collection of energy. Therefore, the painting is usually done the first time, further attempts usually fail.


She often works with less classic techniques, such as scraping into plasterboard imitating plaster or "dry" watercolor with a textile effect. In watercolors and paintings we find mainly human faces and landscapes. We can enter these lands and read faces.
