  • “In the very beginning, the concept of painting with soap bubbles completely fascinated me, because I was dealing with the idea of doing something with nothing. Over the years, the concept shifted to something I would call a real painting… As a child I loved the Impressionists, and I am still in love with impressionism, so I became some sort of a conceptual impressionist. Producing a painting has to do with the artist’s encounter with the material, and this usually refuses to subordinate itself to a concept.”
    —Jiří Georg Dokoupil
