Jan Cristaudo
As an abstract artist I immerse myself in the environment to capture that sense of place.
My work comes from the connection I have to a landscape using all of my senses to express the emotion and feel of a place and then translate that into my artwork. Abstract art is more than just putting down paint and moving it around a canvas. You have to start from a story, a place, image or feeling…
MAXIM
Maxim Havlíček’s life traces a path through some of the most transformative currents of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Born in Prague in 1974 under the weight of a collapsing totalitarian regime, he came of age amid revolution, migration, and reinvention. From the shadows of communist conformity to the anarchic freedom of post-Wall Berlin, and eventually to the wide-open landscapes of Los Angeles, Havlíček’s story is one of artistic persistence and philosophical searching. His biography is not only a chronicle of places and influences, but a study in how art becomes a way of navigating history, identity, and the enduring human desire to create meaning from experience.
