Jitka Ottová (*1976 Brno, Czechia)

Painting is like an ocean for me.
An open, deep and changing space that wants nothing more from me than trust,
honesty and full presence.

I create without formal art education.
My path arose naturally, from an inner need to find my own expression.

The process itself is important to me. I often watch for long hours how colors find
their place, layer, disappear and reappear in a different form. In these moments, painting becomes a silent conversation for me, sometimes with my own inner self, sometimes with something that transcends me.

When a painting touches someone else, I perceive it as a rare moment of encounter.
It is then that I realize that the purpose of my work is not just to create a work,
but to open a space for perception, peace and experience.
