Lukáš Havrda

Lukáš Havrda is a prominent figure among the emerging generation of painters. His work is built on a distinctive artistic language that combines traditional realist technique with contemporary themes and bold imagination.

A hallmark of his practice is the raw presence of brutalist architecture and structures with troubled histories. He deliberately seeks out sites that provoke debate – whether in terms of urbanism, public space, or historical memory. His canvases feature nearly forgotten structures transformed into silent witnesses of their era, placed within anachronistic, factually impossible compositions.

Architecture, however, is not his sole subject. Havrda draws primarily on personal experiences, memories, and visions, finding further inspiration in pop culture. As a result, his works oscillate between personal expression, historical commentary, and visual fantasy that bridges reality and fiction.
