Staton Chase Prague approached me about a year-long collaboration on the rental of approximately 9 original paintings for all of the company’s client spaces. Stanton Chase is primarily engaged in executive search for companies worldwide. Thus, the look and feel of its offices in particular is a key factor in setting the first impression for clients.
The geometric images that were carefully selected for each office beautifully accentuated the professional atmosphere of the entire room without appearing disruptive or drawing undue attention to themselves. On the contrary, according to the company managers themselves, the paintings acted as an interesting topic for the initial interview with potential candidates and they evaluated this idea of combining the austere minimalist office furnishings with the geometric abstraction of the paintings very positively. It was also a very nice idea to use the installation of the paintings for a private opening for the company’s biggest clients, with the possibility of purchasing them later.

“We own 2 paintings by the painter Petra Skopalová, one was a birthday present for my wife, the other we had painted for our anniversary together. The paintings are not only original because they are unique, but also because of the way they were created. They were created in complete harmony with our wishes, memories, experiences and the environment in which we live. At the same time, we were able to become co-creators of the paintings because we shared our feelings, moods, memories and favourite colours with Petra…”

“We searched for a long time for a suitable painting for the central hallway of our new house, considering various commercial reproductions or pictures of our family. In the end we decided to approach the painter Petra Skopalova with a commission of a customized artwork for our interior. We were surprised that she came in person to see where the painting would hang and listened to all of our ideas. In the end, we ended up with a work of art that is completely in harmony with the environment we live in and, most importantly, with us. Sometimes I catch myself how much I like to stop and contemplate it. It’s just a new member of our family. Thank you so much for a great job and we can only recommend this artistic experience with peace of mind.”

At the beginning of 2015, I was approached by one of New York’s major galleries, Agora Gallery, to organize a group exhibition of selected contemporary international artists. This gallery is well known for supporting and seeking out aspiring painters, for whom this collaboration is often one of the keys to launching their global artistic careers. The exhibition, entitled Pathway to Abstraction, ran from December 23, 2014 to January 15, 2015 and the grand opening was truly a great artistic experience for all artists, gallerists and visitors. Guests included local celebrities from the world of acting, art making and politics. This exhibition kick-started my artistic career in a very significant way and was the impetus for my other interesting art commissions and exhibitions.
This exhibition featured my 3 paintings – Interview, (Acrylic on canvas, dimension 120 x 140 cm, 2014), Mirroring (Acrylic on canvas, dimension 50×50 cm, 2014) and Great Expectations (Acrylic on canvas, dimension 60×60 cm, 2014).
