In the painting of Bedriska Znojemska we find several aesthetic nuances which diverge from one source - the modern symbolism. The painter takes the road of lyrical reflection which is an essential feature of her paintings. Another nuance of expression is for Bedriska Znojemska the romantic symbolism. And finally it is Surrealist symbolism which provokes subconscious ideas, the fantasy of inner images. It is the question of the search for “super reality”. In order to understand the specificity of the style of Bedriska Znojemska we must also emphasize her masterly work with the paints for she has acquired an entirely original technique of work with the paint. Expert analysis shows that the modern symbolism of Bedriska Znojemska is beautiful and majestic in many respects. Represented by Art Addiction Internet Art Museum: http://www.artaddiction.net
