Daniela Safrankova

I was born in 1974 in Prague, Czechoslovakia, where I live now, although I do most of my work at my studio in south Bohemia. I work almost exclusively with oil on canvas to create vibrant landscapes, both urban and rural. My work has been shown in various galleries in the Czech Republic and the United States, and can also be seen at my web page at .

"The work of Daniela Šafránková is a masterful interpretation of our coexistence with nature. Šafránková paints what she sees and what she feels, plainly and civilly, without seeking spectacular moments she finds them instinctually. Her powerful lines and distinctive coloring lead us into her world. Her color scheme is influenced by her life in California, by the different light, and is of primary importance in the intensity of Šafránková’s emotional message. Her work- empathetic, understandable and gracious- is a valuable contribution to contemporary Czech landscape painting." Dušan Sedláček, PhD.

I received a B.A. from the prestigious Academy of Performing Arts (DAMU), Prague, Czech Republic, in 1995, and did my post-graduate work at California State University, Fullerton, in 1998. I have been actively painting since 1993, and am currently seeking representation of my work.
