My name is Václav Bednář and I am an Artist.
I was obviously interested in art at a pre-school age, I loved to paint, I was very playful, which has lasted to this day.
From an early age, I had a relationship with nice things. My grandfather Václav Busta collected antiques and was always a support to me. This strengthened confidence to go own way even in later times when the painting profession seemed very uncertain, and thanks to that I bridged the period of agony of the choice between freedom and certitude. I realized that he who wants unconditional freedom he have never certitude. And conversely.
My passion lies in free creation with an uncertain end - thus in the search for new paths with the necessary dose of courage in experiments. In experimental work, chance is very often manifested either as a co-author or as an indicator of the direction in which to go to new possibilities and forms of creation.
This search is a non-aggressive form of art and aesthetics and sensitivity play a key role in it, and the work has a strong charge without the need for aggressive elements such as defiance or provocation. Every next step is so exciting that it would be unwise to stop, moreover, when a person stays in one place, he is in danger of wandering in a circle. That's why playfulness is important, thanks to which I'm never faithful to anything and I don't spend too long on what just excited me, it's ideal to enjoy it and go further at best.
If I stuck to something, it would leave me soon anyway and I wouldn't find my way any further .. I have to work every day… it's like when the hoop rolls .. as soon as it stops it falls and no longer rises.
My activity, seemingly one-sided, provides a labyrinth of intuitive perceptions of similar forms of activity in the deeper knowledge and therefore always understands artists, musicians, inventors, scientists and other "fools" who have their worlds and who, if they thought purely rationally, they did not create their works or discoveries because they would lack a motive.
For me, the fundamental motive is my own creative process and my worlds of shapes and colors are a refuge for me where I escape from my own solitude.
