I was recently in Prague and had the opportunity to see Vojta's Pavlicek paintings. He has been painting for a relatively short time. But in that time he has managed to amass a body of work and a voice of his own which is that of a natural born painter. In this work I find invention of materials and imagination and a huge massive dose of energy, enthusiasm and pure joy in his own self discovery of what painting can be for him.

I don't know him well but as a viewer and a practicing painter it is my impulse to encourage him with his practice for my own selfish reasons because, we will all find wonder and surprise along with him as he continues his journey in to the painted world.

To whoever with great pleasure,
