ANTONIN VOJTEK BIOGRAPHY[back to artist gallery]

Antonin Vojtek was born in 1934 in Horni Bojanovice, Czech republic. He lives and works in Breclav, Czech republic.

Called "Painter of South Moravia", Antonin Vojtek belong to family of painters, which connected with a nature as with an infinite source of inspiration. Artist doesn't look for difficult, speculative conflicts and transformations in the nature. Nature and vegetative motives in his works represented in itself as owners/bearers of a sensual beauty and a harmony. A passion for a harmony, quiet, majesty and an intimacy dominates in each work of the artist. Made in pointillism technique, Vojtek's works delight/admire with the poetic form of his schematically vision of the nature, with an expressive detail of a vegetative motive and "a roundish clumpiness" of plants.
