Recorded at Trafo Gallery during Jiří Marek’s exhibition Palimpsest, this conversation opens a window into the painter’s meditative and material approach to image-making. Marek speaks about the duality of construction and destruction, the act of erasing as a form of creation, and the emotional charge that remains within matter. His reflections unfold as a poetic study of painting as an archaeological process, a constant rewriting of surfaces, memories, and personal history.
