“I am thirty and I live with my mom and dad in a house just outside Prague. The Nature is all around, fields, woods and a pond where I go to feed fishes and ducks. About two years ago, I decided to start my studies. I wanted to study law but I was told that I was slightly “slower” and that’s why they could not accept me. I have never understood why. I was sad for about two years. But just few days ago something happened to me. I began to believe. A bit in myself and a bit in a God. It’s true that I still cannot decide in which one. But it does not matter because I trust myself at least for now. I began to believe that if I want to influence or create something, I am fully entitled to do so. Each morning, each evening I pray honestly: “Matej, you know very well that anything you can see or feel around is true and real. Ships do not sink. The World without scoundrels is like a summer tree without leaves and the saints are saints because they doubt most of all. People do not leave each other. Ghosts are protecting us, not haunting. In a situation when everybody runs as much as he can, to stop moving and remain stopped - this requires every effort. You know that it is good to be like this and if not, you are not a Dreamer.” And I started to create. And in this believe I painted few paintings. They are about the fact that when you loose your mind, it is because that everything you learn is only another kind of knowledge you already know for a long time. My name is Matej Snilek.” Ondrej Roubik (1988), AVU Prague (Jiri Petrbok) and The Princes Drawing School, London. His new series deals with interconnection of seemingly realistic painting with specific seemingly realistic story of “one particular man”.
