About the artist:
Jan Kanyza (*1947) is a Czech actor and artist. He studied at DAMU in Prague under Professor Miloš Nedbal and has worked primarily as an actor throughout his life.
He has been involved in fine art since the 1970s; painting represents a means of artistic expression and a parallel world to theatre and film for him. In addition to painting and graphics, he occasionally works with ceramics. He is a co-founder of the Tolerance 95 art group and a member of the Syndicate of Fine Artists.
His painting style oscillates between expressive abstraction and lyrical compositions with figurative elements. He primarily uses acrylic and mixed techniques. He draws inspiration from music, nature, and inner experiences.
He regularly exhibits his works in galleries in the Czech Republic and abroad – including France, Germany, Switzerland, and the USA. He lives and works alternately in Prague and Provence.
