Miroslav Spadrna is a Czech painter, born in 1968 in ?eské Bud?jovice, Czech Republic. Before studying Fine Arts, he was already a self-taught painter. At the age of 25, his work was already being sold in Germany, the Netherlands and other European countries. At 40, he left commercial painting to immerse himself deeply in his art. He left his home and his former life to make art on the street, closer to poverty, loneliness and passion. This change transformed his style, thinking and technique. At the age of 43, he began another phase in his artistic life. For Špadrna, art is a space of absolute freedom, a place to find the essence of things and the deepest feelings of being. It is where the only measurements of time is the stroke of the brush. Creating or recreating life on canvas, paper or sculpture is, for him, the most sublime act. His recognitions include the European Artist Award in 2023 in Milan, Italy, and in 2021 he was appointed Coordinator of Art and Painting in the Czech Republic. His group exhibitions include the Group Exhibition in Berja, Andalusia, Spain in 2023. His works have received positive reviews in Spain and have appeared in publications. In 1997, he had a residency in Garachico, Canary Islands, Spain. Spadrna is a recognized and award-winning artist who has been published in various media. He has been a member of the Chicote Visual Art Gallery, Spain, since April 2, 2024. His work is vibrant and textured, encapsulating his deep connection to art as a medium to express the depths of the human experience.

In "An intimate journey between light, nature and essence," Antonio Sanchez, art gallery director writes: "Miroslav's work oscillates between the abstract and the figurative, integrating visual structure with an emotional charge that permeates each painting. In a display of impressionist and expressionist technique, the artist explores the symbiotic relationship between human beings and nature, where forms, color and textures merge in a visual choreography of great intensity. The chromatic palette is dense, playing with a vibrant range of blues, greens and earths, contrasted with accents of intense reds and oranges. This choice of colors is not random, but responds to a poetic discourse in which cold tones suggest serenity and introspection, while warm colors act as visual counterpoints of energy and passion. Reds in particular, with their shades of carmine and vermilion, stand out in certain figures and natural elements, suggesting both the vitality of life and the transience of the moments captured on canvas. The artist employs texture as a key expressive element in the composition. The application of thick layers of oil and acrylic, torn and overlapping in various directions, gives each work a visual density that reflects the complexity of the natural world."
