Insomnia

The work was created in 2002, during the first years of my life in the Czech Republic. In it, I tried to convey a sense of nighttime silence, insomnia, and inner detachment — those moments when a person is left alone with their thoughts.

The moonlight, the empty space of the room, the solitary figure of the mouse, and the small candle flame create a fragile, almost theatrical world. The simple, deliberately naïve form of the character contrasts with the more complex emotional content of the painting.
