petr včelka: por t fo l io

Pe tr Včelk a (1983) graduated on Department of Printmaking

and other media at Academy of Fine Art in Bratislava, Slovakia

in 2009.

He is focusing on drawing, painting and illustration. His work

stems from realism, abstraction, f iguration as well as aesthe-

tics and narrative potential of comics as medium. He e xplores

the tension be tween abstraction and f iguration and the outcome

of his work is specif ic personal fold (be tween) of them. He is an

e xtraordinary drawer, whose drawings and especially ske tches

looks very spontaneous, naturaly and are made with great ease.

The te xture of his work is rough which is grounded in his focus

of intuition of the moment and material which he is dealing with.

He is trained as a classial printmaker so he is naturaly working

with black and white. Most of his t ime he doesn‘t need anything

else as white paper and black ink. As very important supplement

of his black and white body of work he is nowadays e xperimen-

ting with painting in according to e xpand potencial of color and

the allure of te xture in his work.
