Popis díla

“In Noord-Holland”, Quadriptych “Starlings” acrylic on canvas, 80 × 60 cm, unframed The “Starlings” cycle is a visual meditation on collective movement, light and the silent rhythm of nature in dialogue with human space. The inspiration came from the article “The Unique Beauty of Flying Together” in National Geographic (October 2025), in which a flock of starlings creates changing, almost abstract formations over European cities. Ken Aabru (real name Ladislav Urbánek) translates the phenomenon of starlings flying in flocks into a subtly abstracted painting, in which the real becomes poetic and the concrete disappears into a colorful meditation. Each of the paintings bears a title in the language of the country where the inspired scene took place — from Roman rooftops to Dutch horizons. The artist works with acrylic in thin, translucent layers and with scattered traces of dark pigment that evoke the movement of birds. The color scale shifts from the pink and gold tones of evening light to the deep blue of the northern landscape. The result is a contemplative cycle in which calm and tension, matter and air, light and darkness meet in balance. “Starlings” is a visual diary of movement that cannot be stopped — of the fleeting moment when nature touches the geometry of the city and the landscape, and the world for a moment turns into a pure image.
