Jan Strakušek
Keeper of memories and truth about life
Jan Strakušek is a painter whose world of colours was not just about painting, but a mapping of daily struggle for survival. His work was a witness to life in the village, from fieldwork to house chores, displaying reality in its non-idealized form with all its imperfection and beauty, especially he was a master of showing people, their faces and souls, captured in moments of work and dedication. Strakušek did not just create art; he left a heritage, a truth of life captured on canvas.
