Zdenek Konvalina 1979年生於捷克,近十年受邀展覽於英國倫敦、加拿大多倫多、和美國休士頓等地。

在成為專職藝術家前,他以芭蕾舞蹈家的身份活躍於美國、亞洲和歐洲,並獲得眾多藝術成就獎項。其平面畫作著重過程本身,除了仰賴身體心智的即時反饋,他追求實踐潛意識中的概念、思想、形式、記憶及提示等,並著眼於探究物質與精神的比例關係,如模糊與明確、遙遠與咫尺、運動與靜止,藉由運用各種工具不斷產生多變的痕跡,最終各自形成獨具的意象情境與故事。

Zdenek Konvalina born in 1979 in Czech Republic. His paintings have been included in group exhibitions in London, Toronto, Montreal and Houston.

Before fully devoting himself to a painting practice, Konvalina accomplished a distinguished career as a ballet artist, performing and working around the world in America, Asia and Europe and winning numerous awards for his artistic achievements. His abstract paintings emphasize the process itself. Movement, be it Physical, Mental or Metaphorical plays an important role in making and thinking about these paintings. The process focuses on probing the dynamics of contrasting qualities: blurred and defined, distant and immediate, moving and still, exploration of dynamics between a variety of tools. In the end, each painting strives to tell its own story, be it a statement or just a realization of a certain chain of thoughts.
