The oil painting shows a piece of historical heritage from 1470. The Hussist bastion built of stone masonry. It was part of the original Castle defense in the town of Bílina.
One day, on a hot summer day, I went to a restaurant for a cup of coffee. I looked around curiously while waiting for the order. Silent music, empty tables with menus and flowers growing in the middle of stones. Break time for employees. Just casual guests like me.
Harmonious atmosphere in soothing colors. And I was only interested in the door leading to the building. Heavy, old wood with a touch of mahogany. I don't think that this door has been preserved from 1470, but in any case it is a symbol of the intertwining of history and modernity.
For painting I use quality canvas in a relative composition of cotton and synthetics. I usually use a three to four layer technique. After full drying, I glue the canvas to hardboard with the help of a special transparent double-sided adhesive foil. As a final point, varnished with protective varnish.
Oil painting on canvas glued to hardboard size 42x34 cm. Treated with the final varnish. Not framed, not ready to hang.
