Jiří Matějů is a painter of light and a recognized solitaire of the art scene, who works on the threshold of art, science, philosophy and theology. He is known for his rigorous, even ascetic approach to painting, which requires thoughtfulness, discipline and a steady hand. The result is meticulously clean and long-lasting paintings that bear no traces of human intervention. It is as if they were created spontaneously and changed in every moment before our eyes.
