Simona Vojtěšková

Hi, I’m Simona — a full-time Czech visual artist and curator. I run SENO Atelier, my own gallery in Velké Pavlovice, where I present my paintings and also curate exhibitions of other contemporary artists.

I've been drawn to art all my life. After graduating in Political Science from Masaryk University in 2012, I spent several years in the creative world of marketing and PR. I eventually dove into serious art-making alongside my husband, architect Jiří Vojtěšek. Together, we began creating minimalist concrete wall art under the brand name Litone — a fusion of linocut and concrete.

From linocut and concrete, I gradually moved to acrylics, which is now my primary medium. My paintings blend emotional abstraction and intuitive floral forms, inspired by wild meadows, bold colors, and the joy of spontaneous creation. I create vibrant abstract paintings filled with organic shapes, layered textures, repeating patterns, and a generous dose of pink. My work plays with contrasts: playful childhood memories expressed through ladybugs and polka dots are set against darker, more mysterious corners.

I love experimenting with color combinations, imagined plant forms, and delicate detail within abstract, nature-inspired sceneries. If you look closely, you’ll find intentionally “unfinished” areas — places where something was once started and deliberately left behind. These imperfect moments are balanced by hours of careful, obsessive detail work.

Nature’s colors and their endless variations deeply inspire me. My creative process begins with a loose idea, but once I face the blank canvas, I let myself get completely absorbed in a flow of intuition and emotion. I paint as quickly as my thoughts arrive, and slow down gradually to focus on the final layers and finishing touches. For me, the process is far more fulfilling than the result — the painting feels complete only when I reach a personal peak of inner satisfaction.

I live and work in the Czech Republic, in my private studio in Velké Pavlovice, where I share my life with my husband and our two children.
