This work consists of three interwoven layers: 1. an older „base” text of Prievozník (published separately during the first half of my doctoral study), 2. a newer, hereby submitted metatext Protirečník, which is in a critical dialogue with the base text and thus forms indispensable theoretical part of my dissertation, and 3. a Výtvarník, a visual continuation of the textual. In the first two parts, I focus my attention on intra-art and intra-media aspects of creative processes and on the constitutive potential of media such as drawing or painting. The tension created by the different viewpoints of these two parallel texts is used as a scaffold to formulate essential problems in ontogeny and idiognosis of an author: Prievozník was based on the concept of „artist becoming a non-artist however the logic of this transition seems insufficient unless we can understand what itmeans for a person to become a visual artist, a graphical illustrator or a painter. How is a visual artist bound by the language and by the media which precedes him/her? Which kind of relationship emerges then between art creations and ever-changing experiences, visual sensing, and sensitivities of perception for art- as well as non-art inputs? This theoretical work is thus positioned within the interface of intra-artistic and extra-artistic, between personal and non-personal, between inner and outer. The third part, Výtvarník, is a visual follow up of the theoretical work and comprisesfigurative, figural and abstract drawings, paintings and analytical drawings or diagrams.
