This new post is another one of the digital design works.

I got mainly inspired by a czech artist Jiří Kolář. I have learned about him at universitz, but encountered his work here in the UK. Some of his artworks han in Tate Modern.

Jiri Kolar, Czech artist and writer (born Sept. 24, 1914, Protivin, Bohemia, Austria-Hungary—died Aug. 11, 2002, Prague, Czech Rep.), excelled in both poetry and collage, but his works embodied independence and originality at a time when communist cultural repression made such qualities liabilities, and he suffered oppression and imprisonment in his native country. Kolar began exhibiting his art in 1937 and published his first poetry collection, Birth Certificate, in 1941. Communist authorities banned his writing in 1949 and again in the 1960s, and he was imprisoned for nine months in the early 1950s. Beginning in the early 1960s, Kolar focused more on visual art and became increasing experimental, eventually earning a place as one of the masters of the collage form.

I only hope that no one will get offended after seeing my work.

I have to mention another insliration and that is a Superman movie. It is the version form seventies 1978, to be precise. In my humble opinion the is the best one. I mean I didn’t get inspired by Superman himself, but by the Phantom Zone.

There is one more inspiration and that is a Mirror Maze. Which is hidden within Petřínská Rozhledna in Prague.

The lookout tower was built for the General Land Centennial Exhibition in 1891 by the initiative of the founders of Czech Tourist Club: Dr. Vilem Kurz and architect Vratislav Pasovsky. Having been inspired by the Paris lookout tower designed by engineer Eiffel, Petrin Hill which is 318 m high was chosen for the structure. The construction began on March 16, 1891, according to the initial design of architect Vratislav Pasovsky further elaborated by engineers Frantisek Prasil and Julius Soucek from Czech and Moravia Machine Works (Ceskomoravska strojirna). The opening ceremony took place on August 20 of the same year. The foundations were laid 11 meters underground to hold the 63.5-metre tall steel construction that weighed 175 tons. An octagonal tube is the core of the structure with the lift surrounded by two spiral staircases with 299 stairs – one for each direction. The entire structure includes bracing elements in the shape of Saint Andrew’s crosses. The tower has two lookout landings; the upper one is 55 metres high. The ground floor and basement are situated in a neo-Renaissance building. At the beginning of July 1938, the top of the tower was damaged by fire, probably caused by a short circuit in the lift cage. The observation tower was a TV transmission tower between 1953 and 1992. Today, it is only used as a lookout tower.

What made me to do this work is simply enjoy working on random things. I don’t see myself as somebody with great imagination and by this technique I am helping myself to create something quite unique.
