Helena Šuranská

The basis of my painting is hot beeswax with colored pigments and heated metal tools. This technique found me at the right moment, and if someone else hadn't invented it a long time ago, I would have had to invent it myself. It still manages to surprise and inspire me. For me, painting is a way of expressing emotions, moods, and states of mind. It brings me relaxation, joy, and peace. I am interested in the overlaps of painting into other spheres and techniques.. Today, I no longer work only with classic heated tools, I combine various techniques with shellac coatings and with a heat gun and acrylic paints. My works hang, among others, at the mayor of Sées in France, at the town hall in Tonisvorst in Germany, at the ombudsman of the Czech Republic, or at the director Olga Sommerová and journalist Petra Procházková. I have exhibited, for example, at Uh. Brod, Buchlovice, Brno, Velehrad, Luhačovice, Uh. Hradiště, Ostrava, Moravský Krumlov, Jihlava, Prague and several other cities.
