Description
A powerful encounter with nature. The work impresses through an immediate, almost physical presence. The composition is dominated by massive, bright rock formations. They jut steeply and give the image an architectural stability. At the center rests a human figure. The figure is rendered in cool blue tones and appears small but insightful in the monumental landscape.
The application of color is impasto and energetic. Visible brushstrokes testify to a fast, intuitive process of work. Greenish hues in the background suggest a dense forest. This area contrasts sharply with the earthy tones of the foreground. The artist deliberately omits classical perspectives. The depth arises solely from the proportions of the image elements.
It is a play of layering and overlay. Pigments lie as dense connections on the canvas. The work emanates a deep calm, which results from an inner struggle with time. The balance between object-like form and expressive color remains maintained. A striking red accent in the lower area sets a rhythmic counterpoint to the otherwise natural palette. The scene captures a fleeting moment of contemplation. The light breaks through the rough surfaces of the rock.

Fear of color is to fear the world. I work rapidly, in oil, without a photo template, gladly directly out in the open as
well as in the studio. Layer by layer, old is painted over, erased in wide areas, parts leftat the edges.
I understand this approach as a re-enactment of growth and sometimes destruction. Painting is a struggle
with time, with productive time at the end of which color stands as a compound on my paintings.
Chrobok paints his work directly outside In the nature, regardless of weather conditions. 

Whether storm, snow
or sun – he is not a pure fair-weather painter – all weather conditions appeal to him and inspire him to capture
his impressions on canvas. In short time the movement of the trees in the wind, the whipping of the branches in
the stormor theplayof light and shadoware skillfully brought onto the canvas by the artist. 

Chrobok has perfected the fast brushwork.
In his paintings the painted objects do not fade or disappear in the distance. The depth of space is only created
by proportions. 

His fascination for color is decisive in his paintings. How far can one go as a painterto let the
color speak without leading it into abstraction? 

Chrobok has found the solution.
