Stanislav Riha
Born in 1952 in Prague, former Czechoslovakia. From early childhood, he enjoyed drawing and later painting; as a young man, he focused mainly on surrealism. In the last three decades, Standa has been creating wall-mounted, cast resin, and aluminum sculptures combined with canvas and gold leaf, and exploring the computer as an art tool for creating digital artwork. All my life, I have loved to create art full of emotions and feelings, "soul," with the satisfaction of fun. I am interested in the balance and composition of colours and objects rather than the reality of the items. The direction of the last two decades is aimed at understanding and, through artwork, expressing the human struggle of emotions and adaptions. For the past ten years, I have been polishing my creative work in the Surreal-abstract style. The main motto of my artistic position: Just as in a good written story or musical composition, the audience has space to create their image; in a good visual presentation, the viewers can form their own account.
