About the artwork:
This work is part of an abstract series by Rafael Smet, in which the artist primarily uses natural pigments bonded with acrylic. The first paintings in this series began as an experiment, through which the artist explored and learned how to work with these pigments. After several works, however, the series gradually evolved into something more defined: a visual language resembling the alphabet of an unknown population, conceptually connected to the artist’s architecture series.
About the artist:
Rafael Smet is a painter based in Prague, where he maintains his studio. In 2024, he completed his bachelor’s degree in Prague under the guidance of Roman Franta and Lukáš Miffek. His work is predominantly figurative, complemented by abstract elements. He works primarily with acrylic and oil and focuses on layered compositions that emphasize airiness, contrast, and light. His paintings balance precise construction with an open, contemplative atmosphere.
His work focuses on figurative motifs, often intertwined with architectural or landscape structures. He approaches aesthetics as a starting point—composition, light, and space—but equally important are the narratives that emerge when observing an image. These narratives are never fixed; rather than telling a specific story, his paintings create situations that invite viewers to project their own experiences, memories, or internal dialogues.
Through carefully constructed layers and controlled contrasts, he strives to create spaces that appear suspended in time—silent, ambiguous, and open. Figures and structures function less as descriptive elements and more as carriers of atmosphere, leaving the image unspoken and mentally active in the viewer’s mind.
Smet has already presented his work in numerous exhibitions in Prague and other Czech cities, as well as internationally, including exhibition in Belgium.
