Dagmar Hrickova was born in the Czech Republic and is now based in
the outskirts of New York. She completed her American Arts Certificate
at UCLA. She takes her inspiration from the ever-changing world around
her and often finds herself studying the people around her.
This piece of work entitled ‘Childhood Memories’ by Dagmar Hrickova
was created in an oil paint/ acrylic medium. The use of colour is
interesting as Hrickova has used the colour magenta, which cannot be
made using a mixture of primary colours. This gives the painting a more
surreal and unrealistic look about it. It appears that the paint has
been applied using a sponge, giving it a cloudy look which could
represent that the memories that are being conveyed being quite faded
and clouded over. The colours are quite dark which suggests that
Hrickova is showing unpleasant memories or memories that she isn’t very
fond of.
