“Prague Palindromes” is a series of 120 portraits created exclusively for MH Suites Palace, a new design hotel in Prague.
With this collection, I set out to explore the symbiosis between people and the places they inhabit—each continually reshaping and redefining the other.
The title alludes to the works’ multidirectional structure, conceived to be “read” in either direction: from the human element to the urban one, and vice versa.
Tangibly, each canvas pairs a female figure with a Prague cityscape.
Figuratively, however, the images speak to humanity’s creative impulse—our inner vision and the beauty we are capable of bringing into the world.
As a whole, the series becomes a reflection on my own artistic process—also, in its own way, multidirectional—as well as a metaphorical portrait of the clients, the two (palindromic) owners of MH Suites Palace. Though never depicted directly, they are ever-present: their drive to create something new and beautiful, and their deep emotional connection to each of the featured locations, permeate the work. In the end, they are its true subjects.
