“His figures seem to emerge from a surreal, dreamlike pool of warm sepia tones as if bathed or suspended in an ethereal vapor…A myriad of translucent layers and tonal variations enhance the seductive and mesmerizing appeal of his artwork.” Renee Philips, Director and curator of Manhattans Art International.
Frantisek Strouhal lives and creates his art in Passmore for the last fourteen years. Regarding his award Strouhal stated “I am very pleased and grateful to be chosen for inclusion in this International figurative show.
