Hynek Martinec practice explores time, memory, and the shifting nature of images through drawing, painting, and printmaking. By combining classical techniques with contemporary concerns, he investigates questions of authenticity, permanence, and perception. While painting remains central to his work, printmaking plays a prominent role, prized for its capacity both to reproduce and to transform, echoing the ways images circulate across history and digital culture. Martinec often reimagines fragments of historical artworks, layering them with contemporary elements to create subtle tensions between past and present. His prints invite viewers to slow down, to consider the interplay of detail, technique, and meaning. Through these carefully constructed layers, he encourages reflection on beauty, mortality, and the ways we engage with visual culture today. Straddling tradition and innovation, Martinec’s work offers a contemplative space where images endure, evolve, and shape collective memory, bridging the histories of art with the immediacy of contemporary experience.
