Description from the seller
ETERNITY IN AN INSTANT
Miroslav Spadrna (Pintorcheco)
Acrylic on canvas | 90 × 60 cm | 2026
Amid indigo depths and bursts of light, matter seems to break free from the laws of time. Forms, textures, and invisible energies converge in a universe where the ephemeral and the eternal meet.
The work does not depict a place, but a state of existence: that instant when everything seems to stand still and yet the universe continues to pulse.
Because perhaps eternity is not an infinite span of time, but an instant that never ends.
Contemporary Czech artist based in Spain
Miroslav Spadrna, known professionally as Pintorcheco, was born in 1968 in the Czech Republic and currently pursues his artistic practice in Almería, Spain.
His artistic career spans several decades. From his first exhibitions in former Czechoslovakia and later in Spain, his painting has undergone a profound transformation, moving from a more commercially oriented figurative style toward a personal visual language situated between abstraction and figuration.
He works primarily with acrylic on canvas, building surfaces through layers, transparencies, impasto, palette-knife work, incisions, and spontaneous gestures. Matter, color, and light are the essential elements of his visual language.
Deep blues, indigos, and turquoises converse with yellows, magentas, reds, and golden glimmers. From these surfaces emerge fragmented architectures, submerged cities, portals, boats, human figures, trees, and constellations that seem to exist between reality, memory, and dream.
His recent explorations are developed in series such as Portales Índigo, Submerged Structures, Geografía del Azul, Umbrales Ocultos, and La flauta del silencio, in which he explores recurring themes such as memory, silence, travel, transformation, and the search for light.
Over the course of his career, Spadrna has taken part in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Spain and other European countries. His solo exhibitions include Krkonošské pohoří in the Czech Republic (1990), the Mis colores exhibitions in El Ejido, Spain (1993–1995), and his participation in the Museo MundoArti International Exhibition in Valencia in 2024.
His recent international career includes projects and exhibitions in Milan, Paris, Venice, Málaga, Barcelona, and Almería, as well as repeated participation in Berja Arte and exhibitions associated with Almería Cathedral.
His accolades include the European Artist Award, Milan 2023, the European Artist Award, Florence 2025, and his appointment as Coordinator of Art and Painting for the Czech Republic in 2021. His career has also included an artist residency in Garachico, Tenerife, in 1997 and awards in international contemporary art competitions.
His work is currently featured on platforms and markets specializing in contemporary art worldwide and has entered private collections. His practice continues to evolve from Spain, delving further into a form of painting in which matter, memory, emotion, and light create spaces of powerful sensory intensity.
For Spadrna, the canvas is not a closed image, but a territory of experience. Painting does not seek to explain everything: it invites viewers to cross the surface and forge their own relationship with what remains between the visible and the unknown.
In 2027, EvolucionArts Art Center will present a solo exhibition dedicated to his work, bringing together a selection of 25 works representative of different periods in his practice.
