Starting price
oil pastel on paper 61 x 84 cm 2015 Dagmar Filípková (*1960) is an example of the fact that there is no limitation, no insurmountable handicap for a creative being - she paints, acts in theatre performances or captures the course of her life in her diary with the same ease. Having tried a variety of artistic techniques, she has found her most natural expression through oil pastels, which suit well her need to densely layer color surfaces while giving flourish to each stroke in her drawing. Although her works are more reminiscent of landscapes from dreams, Dagmar Filípková usually chooses places or architectures as her model that are very precisely defined: she finds them on postcards, in calendars and textbooks, in images from the internet, but of course also in memories of her own travels. Sometimes she even records in her paintings in her own handwriting which place she has chosen. She does not, however, burden herself with any descriptiveness; she always chooses from reality only what she considers truly essential. She has an extraordinary feeling for colour transitions and shades, and each of her paintings carries its own unique mood thanks to the particular choice of colours. Based on Dagmar Filípková's diaries, a theatre performance was created, which was staged in November 2013 under the title “Dáša, get up!” by the Prague Inventura Theatre (now Ujeto Theatre). The author was cast in the main role. In 2020, she also recorded her diaries as a podcast - a serialized audiobook. In 2024, she had an exhibition at the SGVU in Litoměřice entitled Pilgrimage to the Giant Mountains and Other Landscapes.
