dancing House Prague (2020) Peinture par Bogdan Shiptenko

Comparison of Dancing House site in 1945 and 2010
The "Dancing House" is set on a property of great historical significance. Its site was the location of a house destroyed by the U.S. bombing of Prague in 1945. The plot and structure lay decrepit until 1960, when the area was cleared. The neighboring plot was co-owned by the family of Václav Havel, who spent most of his life there. As early as 1986 (during the Communist era), Vlado Milunić, then a respected architect in the Czechoslovak milieu, conceived an idea for a project at the place and discussed it with his neighbour, the then little-known dissident Václav Havel. A few years later, during the Velvet Revolution, Havel became a popular leader and was subsequently elected president of Czechoslovakia. Thanks to his authority, the idea to develop the site grew. Havel eventually decided to have Milunić survey the site, hoping for it to become a cultural center, though this was not the result.

Cityscape Painting - Since I love to paint Cityscapes. Of course, I take most of the beautiful places from my travels, because they open my eyes to the beauty of the world, new places, color of the city, architecture, old buildings and much more.
Basically I like to paint European architecture, cities such as: Paris, Holland, Italy, Spain, I like to paint the architecture of New York, California and other states.

The vocation of the works is to show the world what it really is and to evoke powerful emotions from art, because it is nice when a person finds and recognizes himself in a painting, sees in it moments from his own life.

I love watercolor painting for its magic, transparency and lightness. I painted only with professional watercolors, brushes on thick cotton paper.

This artwork is one of a kind painting. Here I painting really Colorful colors. And I use harmony composition

My painting watercolor on cotton paper, using mainly palette brush and watercolor paints.

Watercolors give this work a special lightness and airiness. I like paint with watercolors using the ala prima technique, using the effects of splatter, transparency and color saturation.




I like using palette knife for effects of splatter and color saturation.

Of course, I walk around the city and watch all the time. It doesn't matter if I travel in my city or somewhere, I see places that are interesting in terms of color, composition and especially in terms of content. I like to paint more crowded places where meetings or some walks usually take place. More often than not, these are cozy cafes in the atmosphere of the city's urban streets.
