This is my THANK YOU.💝
Unfortunately, we didn't fit in. Mrs. Irenka counted over 60 people 😱 in a city where I thought I had only a few friends! Thank you all very much for the powerful atmosphere and your precious time. Gallery for oncology patients and supporting artists hosts my exhibition until 11.07.2023. Sale from the paintings will help the gallery to survive. If you are interested in a painting, send me an email and I will arrange all.
"MY TRIX"
03.05.-22.6.2023
Kurture centre STRECHA
It never imagined I would moderate my exhibition for an hour like a talk show..
After the introduction of the director, Ing. Pavly Müllerová, Tanja and I kicked things off on stage in an incredible way. I think we could do our own talk show. Then when she came out and sang live, the fact that she didn't need a microphone was confirmed. She has a voice like a BELL!
The commentary was lively and I completely forgot how many paintings the Cultural Center team and I actually installed. Oh, and according to a spontaneous decision, Russell also has paintings there! A lot of people helped me with everything, and to them I owe a huge big THANK YOU.
See you on the comment board before the concert of the rock band CITRON on June 9, 2023!

The exhibition "MY TRICKS" in the STRETCH Cultural Center will last until June 22. 2023
"TIME LINE"
16.3.-22.04.2023
Gallery Hrivnac
Rosana De Montfort, Messenger of Post-Humanism. Dynamic painting with spatulas, but also perfectionist processing of the figures and their faces. Oil paint, acrylic, sand, plaster and varnishes. These are the attributes of the element called Rosana, which captivated visitors to the Hřivnáč Gallery in Opava yesterday. The audience was literally hanging on her lips during her guided tour, which followed the opening of the exhibition. They listened to her personal but also fictional stories of the heroes of her paintings. They penetrated the world of evolutionary shift and the gradual disappearance of organic life forms on Earth. Rosana revealed herself at yesterday's opening and vividly demonstrated what a personal artistic confession means. She revealed her dream world, where the border between portrayed and real characters disappears.
NA JEDNÉ LODI. NA JEDNOM BŘEHU./ON ONE SHIP. ON ONE SHORE.

"WINTER DEPO" Gallery MORITZ
5.12.-31.12.2022
My show paintings go to hiding in in the winter season. Gallery MORITZ is full of the biggest canvasses, which usually never meet during the year. If you are a collector, a gallerist or just simply love art and want to see them, just give me a call and I can arrange a viewing. Chateua Bílovec is cold over the winter, so take a warm jacket.
"PAINTINGS"- Gallery of Silvie Kořistková
Orlová (CZ)
5.12.-31.12.2022
When your friend opens a gallery, it's like coming home. Tea is on the table next to an open art book, there are cute animals on the floor chilling and a good friend comes by as well.... Well, because we are friends, care for each other and help one another. So although I thought I won't do any more gallery exposure this year, but this one is just no stress.

Thank you!
GALLERY MORITZ visited by more than 3000 visitors in 2022 season!
In the MORITZ Castle Gallery, this year we were able to welcome thousands of visitors not only to exhibitions of contemporary art, but also guided tours, openings, painting courses and music concerts. The interior also underwent a stylish renovation, in which local citizens and companies participated, so that it could enter the prestigious art scene and welcome not only local artists, but also important personalities from all over the Czech Republic.
May Day started with the opening of a native of Novi Jičín, Antonín Gavlas, who introduced himself with his exhibition "Soul of Light", where we got to know not only his paintings, but also sculptures, sculptures and digital images. Our guitar virtuoso Jakub Jalůvka played for us with the talented accordionist Anežka Gebauerová.
The members of the TELEMANNIA music group also came to make the gallery walls sound, who performed a Jazz-Baroque concert performed by M. Kratochvílova and M. Friedl, Fantasie per flauto traverso e contrabbasso by G.P. Telemann. We also welcomed members of the consort of Renaissance transverse flutes and Renaissance lutes "TOURDION A BOHEMIAN LUTE ORCHESTRA", whose performers Anežka Šejnohová, Radka Kubínová, Mirka Holá, Marta Kratochvílová, Jan Čižmář, Zuzana Meleková and others performed court music songs, period dances, and they also headed into the category of liturgical and folk music.
The exhibition season was rounded off by an exhibition entitled "MEETING IN TIME", whose participants literally took the visitors' breath away with their installation. The members of the artistic group Magnus Gradus, Jaroslav Jerry Svoboda (Prague, Vancouver), Radomír Bárta (Brno, Sebranice), Rosana de Montfort (Bílovec, London) invited a special guest, who was the world-famous painter and surrealist Michal Janovský (Česká Lípa). The paintings of Jaroslav Jerry Svoboda and Rosana de Montfort were attuned to the same wave because they both deal with the topic of post-humanism. Among the gigantic paintings of Michal Janovský, the metal sculptures and sculptures of the Brno artistic blacksmith and sculptor, Radomír Bárta, stood out. The experience of the exhibition was musically enriched by Jakub Jalůvka with a band that played old rock classics and his own compositions.
The exhibition took place under the patronage of Rosana de Montfort, who founded the Moritz Gallery in cooperation with the management of the town of Bílovec and the castellan of Bílovec castle, Eduard Valeš. The goal of the project was to show that people from different regions, genres and art technologies can combine their talents into one cultural experience for the general public even outside the big cities, namely in Bílovec.
We would like to thank the city management for their close cooperation and support. We thank the castellan, Eduard Valeš, for his helpfulness and dedication. We would like to thank the company Denas Color for sponsoring floor paints and work commitment, and finally to Petar Pavlík and his team for their assistance in the construction of the exhibition architecture. First of all, we thank you, the visitors, for your abundant participation!
"ENCOUNTER IN TIME"
Gallery MORITZ- Chateau Bilovec
17.9. - 31.10. 2022
(Prague, Vancouver) expressive painter and symbolist
(Česká Lípa) surrealist painter, draftsman and lecturer
(Brno, Sebranice) artistic blacksmith, sculptor and lecturer
(Bílovec, London) surrealist painter, sculptor, curator
The presentation of these four artists in one exhibition is probably one of the most interesting in the Moravian-Silesian Region, as it is a connection of friends with significant destinies in the art industry. Each of them has erudite exhibitions and international collaboration behind them. Each of them can boast collectors on many continents. Their union is quite unusual in this exciting time when people are largely competing with each other. Without prejudice, under a surreal sky, it tells the story of ourselves.
The project of the Magnus Gradus art group (Svoboda, Bárta, Montfort) will welcome a special guest, Michal Janovský, a leading Czech surrealist, to the exhibition. The exhibition takes place under the patronage of Rosana de Montfort, who founded the Moritz Gallery in the summer of 2020 in cooperation with the Bílovec city administration and the castellan of the Bílovec castle, Eduard Valeš.
The exhibition under the working title "MEETING IN TIME" will thus be proof that people from different regions, genres and art technologies can combine their talents into one cultural experience for the general public even outside the big cities, precisely in Bílovec.

GALLERY MORITZ IS GETTING A MAKEOVER!
You all know by now I am a builder too. So it becomes very natural for me to transform any interior space. Because of the new project "ENCOUNTER IN TIME" in the Gallery Moritz, where we welcome some very important colleagues, I have decided to give the gallery a makeover. With a help of several people we have transformed this place from 18th century hall into 21st century exposition space. Local company Denas Color has sponsored not only floor paint, but also man power. The directors of the company came personally to help and apply the treatment and paint. A friend of ours, Petr Pavlík has helped with the building of "THE GATES", a structure made of steel and plasterboard in the middle of the room. My dear husband helped with the electric installation and logistics. And so Gallery MORITZ is ready to dazzle!
Thank you all! XX

"For Rosana"
We are here alone,
in front of the picture
and it shouts at me!
Do you still have a soul?
What are you looking at me for?
Has it dawned on you yet?
We are deep in it, upto our ears!
I stand quietly. I stare dumbly.
I'm up to my ears in it.
No one anywhere and yet, so much shoutingin my soul...

My art lectures at the Mathematical college GMK and exposition
Another splendid idea was born in the heads of lectors at the College of Mikulas Kopernicus.
Art classes for the students aged 15 was a vast success and many wouldn't tell the difference between their works and a production of an erudite artist. Each student has chosen to paint a different portrait and achieve a likeness their own way, with their own technique. My role was to simply show the young people all possible techniques and to nudge them in the right direction. The artworks have been exhibited at the foyer of the college and later at Gallery MonAmi in Bilovec. A great way of sharing my own experience and helping others to embrace their own creativity. A great time!
"PEACEFUL ALTERNATIVE"
Oil on canvas 520 x 150cm, year 2022
Wide angle painting dedicated to the spirit of this time.
It will be exhibited on April 6, 2022 in the Passage of Czech Design in the ARTVARIUM project, curated by PhDr. Renáta Mužíková, PhD and the gallery are headed by PhDr. Hana Homolková and Štěpánka Zinkaizlová.
What is behind this triptych?
It's about us as we keep shouting ... For the last 3 years it's been a soda for all of us .... either it's: "mee too", or vax = antivax, or the isis, or the parliament, or the trumpeters, or biden, or pope, or pedophilia, XX-XY-XXZ and divided toilets, or rescue from Kabul, bombed by Israel-Palestine, Ukraine, etc etc ... And it will be worse. And how should a person live a normal life at such a time ???? Probably normally ... calamities probably belong to us. And one day the eternally balanced sanguine Anunaki will return and make an end to our comfort ... and there will be peace.

"PROJECT "YOU ARE NOT ALONE"
Mobile Hospice Olomouc
January 2022
For this charity gala I have been asked to donate a painting, which would make the future owner happy and raise money for the people in ultimate need. The friend of the organiser has told me to paint a picture od an ocean, because apparently my collectors love those the most. So ocean it is....
"A MOMENT FOR MY SELF" 100x100cm, oil on 3D canvas, goes to someone with a big heart out there. I wish that person a perpetuating happiness and a great feeling from a good deed done!
Something about the project from the website:
In these days, while we are celebrating our mobile hospice "you are not alone" 5th anniversary of the start of providing our services to children and adult patients in the terminal stage of life. Over the past years, we have succeeded in creating the preconditions for the provision of high-quality care, and our scope has made us one of the most important organizations in our field on a national scale. As an expression of gratitude for your support and cooperation, please welcome our invitation to a charity auction of works of art, which will include a symbolic celebration of our anniversary. Due to the current epidemiological situation, it will take place at the turn of January and February 2022 in the ceremonial hall of the Komenium Elementary School (May 8, 29, Olomouc) and will be accompanied by performances by the Olomouc String Quartet, .

LECTURE AT GMK
classes at the high school for students as an external tutor
I'M IMPRESSED!
These are the works of 12-year-old children from my painting course at the mathematics high school in Bílovec.
The atmosphere in which these gems were born was as tense as a bowstring! The young artists have dealt with difficult topics and I was afraid they would be disappointed with their own achievements. They weren't. Neither of them made a painting not worth hanging on the wall. We have embraced a wide range of themes from Japan, through the Alps to pop art, village hills, seas and lightning, to dynamic abstractions!
It was very challenging, but it was worth it. My teaching of painting at GMK was an adventure of a lifetime. We will make the paintings review in the spring and surely at some point we will meet in front of the easle again. Thank you.
SKALKA MONASTERY
