Regarding works by Zdenka Holejsovska
I met Zdenka for the first time in April 1980, only a few years after I started my business to deal with Czech paintings. Therefore our friendship continued for 30 years. In 1999 I organized her exhibition in Japan inviting Zdenka with her husband. We have so many nice common memories during long period.
During 30 years, various changes happened politically and economically in Czech. Of course, works of Zdenka also changed more or less.
However, from my personal point of view, artistic motivation of her works has not changed basically and that is why her works have been popular for long years among Japanese people.
Zdenka loves flowers from her garden and peaceful landscape of nearby countryside. Zdenka always dreams of happy vacation at seaside. Such kind of optimistic and pleasant motives are pictured on her canvas in vivid colors, bold composition and impasto texture.
Works of Zdenka reflect her tender and friendly personality.
