Roman Křelina lives and works in his studio in Orasín near Jirkov (Chomutov region). He is a painter, sculptor and graphic artist. He uses mainly wood, stone, metal and fireclay for his spatial work. He participates in creative symposia and exhibits regularly. He is represented in private collections in the Czech Republic and abroad.
"Roman Křelina's paintings are abstract, influenced by the nature around him. The free technique of the work is very impressive, the colour flows, the brush strokes turn into ornament and the whole invites you to enter the created space with its atmosphere."
– Jaromír Másler, painter
"Roman Křelina's work impresses with its colour, story and certainty in the line of drawing. His paintings have a painterly freshness, the environment is not neglected, it is harmonious and detailed. In his abstract work, the artist focuses primarily on colour perception, playing around, creating space for the release of thoughts, his paintings often look like dreamy gardens. Figurative work relies mainly on narrative, where Křelina becomes an unobtrusive observer of situations or a direct participant in dialogue. He brings to life the thoughts of his characters.The combination of abstraction and figurative work in a joint presentation works perfectly. Canvases without figures are by no means paintings without life. On the contrary. They are a vibrant stage waiting for their actors."
– PhDr. Renáta Mužíková, PhD., curator
