BIO
Renata
was born in Czechoslovakia and is now residing in Ohio. She
became inspired in the arts by her art teacher.
Renata's art is influenced by Vermeer, John Singer Sargent, Claude Monet,
Marie Cassatt, Berthe Morisot, Edgar Degas, Edouard Manet and other
impressionists.
After 20 years working in the corporate world, Renata decided to change her
career. She studied art with portrait artist Bill Kufahl and at the
Cleveland Institute of Art, where she received her Certificate of Completion
in 2004. Renata is classicly trained in the old Masters technique of
Flemish method using glazing with many layers. Most of her fine art
paintings are in oil. She finds inspiration in history of
fashion and the fashion icons are important objects in her
series "Homage to Art of Fashion" paintings. Renata’s life-like portraits capture the essence of the
individual and bring life to the paintings.
Her art has been shown locally and internationally in Venice, Bologna,
Sarzana, Fermo, Grottamare, Florence, Montecosaro, Lerici and Rome Italy,
Salzburg Austria,
Prague Czechia and in Bratislava Castle Slovakia.
