Rudi Molacek started his creative career as a fashion photographer. The focus of his interests has always been the study of aesthetics and its formation in the perception of the general public.

In this context, the key image is the flower, a symbol fundamental to the history of art, which is covered with a large number of metaphors, but at the same time has an indisputable quality — beauty. For Rudi Molacek, the flower is a symbol of popular culture in art — a universal formula for combining clarity, completeness and aesthetics.

Rudi Molacek looks for elements of this formula in abstractionist painting, on which he has been fully focussing since the s. The rejection of figurative painting allows the artist to concentrate on compositional and technical experiments. In these he combines the tradition of Western European practices and the results of his own formal searches.

Sharp, sometimes paste-like strokes and clear lines are the influence of the Austrian neo-fauvist New Wild and neo-surrealist art group COBRA, whose works the artist became acquainted with in the s.

Rudi Molacek works with bright, often pure colours. At the same time, they never become overly shouty, nor do they become signal colours. The artist achieves this effect of moderation through a multi-layered technique with which he began experimenting back in the s, when he was working with the then nascent computer graphics software.

The software allowed him to create many subtle colour transitions and overlay them on top of each other. Rudi Molacek transfers this practice to the canvas — after applying the main colours, the artist partially scrapes or blurs them with his hands, large brushes or fabrics. The author masterfully works not only with colour transitions and combinations, but also with the texture of the paint layer, achieving a pasty or, on the contrary, perfectly smooth surface.

Rudi Molacek is always extremely attentive to compositional and colouristic balance — the abstract forms are energetic yet complete, and the colours are balanced in their saturation.
