St. Vitus Cathedral.
Acrylic on canvas (stretched on stretcher bars, unframed).
40×30 cm, horizontal.
Style: Abstract with architectural references.
The composition is built from layered vertical and diagonal forms in purple, dark blue, turquoise, yellow, and white tones.
The background consists of broad irregular areas of yellow, turquoise, and silver paint, applied in semi-transparent layers that allow the canvas texture to remain visible.
Across the surface run numerous vertical paint drips in dark purple and blue, descending from the upper part of the canvas toward the lower edge.
In the central area, several thick purple and dark blue diagonal bands intersect, forming angular structures that visually connect different parts of the composition.
Along the lower portion of the painting, curved and arch-like shapes appear in dark blue and purple, suggesting architectural elements.
The overlapping vertical lines, diagonal beams, and arch-like forms together create a layered structure loosely referencing the complex verticality and rhythm of Gothic cathedral architecture.
Narrative description
She sat on the sidewalk, petting a fluffy black cat. The cat had emerged from a hole in the wall and had been rubbing against her legs for a while now. Imagine that, you’re so fond of me, she thought. Oh, I don’t even have a treat for you, so I’ll just pet you for free. Sorry, darling, and thank you.
Don’t worry about that, the cat thought back. It’s nothing. For now, just sit here. Don’t go anywhere, just stay like this. When it’s safe, I’ll turn around and leave, and then you can go too. But for now, don’t go. And scratch my ear.
