Bicycles in Venetian Glass
Jakub Špaňhel, one of the most talented painters of the 21st century and a master of an unmistakable style, created this artwork as part of the groundbreaking Jízda exhibition at Trutnov’s EPO1 gallery. Influenced by his time in Venice, a city he considers his second home, this painting is a rare gem! Discover more about the piece, its price, and the technique HERE.
Energia Ferrari
No one captures the world of horses quite like Natálie Roučková, a painter of grand formats and an accomplished show jumper. Her painting Energia Ferrari symbolizes the power of cars that bear the emblem of a rearing stallion. It bridges two worlds brimming with passion, speed, and courage—inviting you to step into them. A truly stunning piece! Discover more about the artwork, its price, and the technique HERE.

Anchor II
From the underground garage of a brutalist shopping center built in the 1970s emerges a Formula 1 car once driven to victory by Jackie Stewart.

Mike Tyson
The legendary boxer was captured by Paulina Skavová in what is undoubtedly his finest portrait. Tyson is portrayed without pathos, yet with striking conviction.

Fork
Since his debut on the art scene, Karel Štědrý has captivated theorists, gallery owners, and collectors alike. Fork represents the constant motion of a bicycle, as well as the calm that the gaze upon it brings. When he painted this piece, he was only twenty-five—ahead of his time.

Energy Transfer into Water
Milan Cais is not only an excellent musician but also a remarkable painter and sculptor. He possesses a deep sensitivity that allows him to capture seemingly elusive phenomena—like the moment when an oar, paddle, or even a simple hand sinks beneath the water’s surface, following the movement forward. A form of calligraphy rarely seen in the Czech Republic. Discover more about the artwork, its price, and the technique HERE.
