Zdenek Konvalina (b. 1979, CZ) paints visual brushstrokes on a blurred spraypainted background, resembling “shadows” from the foreground that are the brushstrokes. The smooth application of spray paint contrasted by the raw brushstrokes replicates the division between the tangible physical world and the virtual digital world, but also their inevitable coexistence, reflected as the impact-shadow relationship between the two dimensions.

With a background as a professional ballet dancer, he has transferred from performing arts to visual arts, which he views as a continuous journey.

Zdenek Konvalina is a distinguished artist with an expansive international portfolio, spanning solo exhibitions, group shows, and art fair presentations. Recent highlights include showcasing his work at the prestigious Art Central Art Fair during Hong Kong Art Basel Week 2024, and group presentations at Art021 Shanghai and KIAF Art Fair Seoul in collaboration with leading galleries. In Europe, his solo shows at Benoni Galleri in Copenhagen (2023) and Cova Gallery in Eindhoven (2023) have solidified his reputation as a versatile and evocative contemporary artist. His ongoing Prima Nova II exhibitions at Circle Culture Gallery in Berlin and Hamburg further exemplify his dynamic presence in the art world.
