Anna Kyjovská’s works capture our attention by their use of colour and their playful and abbreviated painting style, which works with basic lines. Kyjovská frequently finds inspiration from ancient cultures, the circus, puppet theatre and children’s toys or souvenirs, incorporating these motifs into contemporary paintings characterized by a distinct stylization bordering on kitsch. She works with symbols and metaphors that reflect personal and collective experience, and she experiments with colour and texture to express the emotions associated with memories.
