29-year-old Tomaš Rak has been interested in drawing since childhood thanks to his parents who were close to arts. Tomaš and his brother often draw instead of playing with toys and he also took classes in art school in Hradec Kralove. He again found passion for painting while studying architecture, despite he later switched studies.

 

 

Now he opened an exhibition of his paintings in Prague’s Kayak Beach Bar that is run by his teammate Vavrinec Hradilek and it will be on display until 15^th December.

 

 

“I like to portray female bodies, animals, nature in general, waves or mountains. That's why, as the title of the exhibition, I chose the Beauty of Nature by the eyes of Tomaš Rak. I do not know if I am inclined to hyperrealism and I will paint as accurately as possible. Or it will be a form of abstraction and focus on things that are not really related to reality. The shot is wide enough,” says Tomaš, who finds inspiration also during his trainings. “One day I watched the sunset while paddling. In front of me I had only the tip of the boat and the unusually beautiful colours. I train twice a day, but I find time for painting. It is perfect to clear my head,” he also says.
