Pavla Soukupová
"Pavla Soukupová draws on the traditional values of Czech art, with its restraint, balanced proportions, intimacy and playfulness, its lyrical mood and leanings toward symbolism, and the almost illustrative recounting of various narratives. She is one of those artists who has rediscovered secessionist ornamentation and symbolism. In her free work space loses its depth, and the emphasis is on strong lines and the clear structuring of the surface of a picture." PhDr. Jiří Machalický
