Bardejov

Status: in private collection Price: n/a Size: 15 cm x 21 cm Technique: mixed media Description: This colorful and whimsical depiction of Bardejov captures the town’s medieval charm with a surreal, almost folktale-like atmosphere. The picturesque rows of colorful townhouses contrast with the vast, moody sky, creating a dreamlike balance between the familiar and the fantastical. In the foreground, figures dressed in traditional and mystical attire—including a devil and a hooded figure—stand in an almost theatrical composition, as if part of an ongoing story or ritual. Their presence hints at history, folklore, and the blending of sacred and profane that often defines Central European storytelling. With its naive, expressive style and rich textures, this piece invites the viewer to see Bardejov not just as a place but as a layered narrative—where history, legend, and imagination intertwine.
