The exhibition mainly presents paintings inspired by the sea and mountains, where Michal Trpák likes to “escape” from civilization to gain energy and be closer to nature. Although Trpák is primarily a sculptor, in his free time, during a lunch siesta on board a sailboat or after skiing at a hotel, he picks up a brush and records images of nature.

The exhibited paintings are thus inspired by sailing on the sea and its changes or the colors of the sky reflected in the surface. Or by the ascents on “seal belts” to images of snowy mountains. Long lines in the snow leading upwards, into the clouds…

In addition to paintings, Michal presents new sculptures that he created based on ideas and inspirations of marine fauna from his son Tim. “Monsters” that were created by recycling old tanks and pipes. They were given a new meaning and “meaning” in the figures of unknown creatures that have fragments from the animal kingdom. Recycled elements are subtly reworked and completed using new parts modeled in wax and then cast in bronze.
