Private installation – Modernization of the house Hostivice

“I have been following the artistic work of painter Petra Skopalová since 2017. My wife and I already own several original paintings by other artists and we always prefer the original to a reproduction or poster. Recently our second daughter was born and we decided to logically renovate and enlarge our house by adding a tasteful and functionalist extension to the living room with a fireplace and an adjoining airy dining room with high glass windows to the garden. And because we love pure geometric abstraction, we approached Petra Skopalova with a commission for 4 paintings tailored to our new interior.

Petra came to see everything in person and also drew us into the choice of the central theme of the paintings. The brief was very personal and clear to us, we love autumn and all our major life events have taken place in autumn. It was during this period that I met my wife, we had our wedding and our two daughters were born. The paintings that Petra Skopalová created for us expressed our whole story. The trilogy called Autumn Arms geometrically summarizes our acquaintance, and the separate painting called Autumn the building of our family and home. Petra worked very sensitively not only with the theme of the paintings, but also with the color assignment, which she admitted was a personal challenge for her. The result is beautiful and we can highly recommend this collaboration.”
