BE OPEN Art is pleased to announce Karolína Amálie Šimková as the Artist of the Month for August 2026. A Czech painter, Šimková’s figurative practice explores emotion, memory, and the complexities of contemporary social experience. Through intimate representations and expressive colour, her work reflects on inner psychological states and the ways people construct, reveal, and conceal their identities.
Each month, BE OPEN Art presents 20 artists for public voting, with monthly winners advancing to compete for the Artist of the Year 2026 title. The overall winner will receive a €1,000 prize and promotional support from BE OPEN Art.
We warmly congratulate Karolína Amálie Šimková on this well-deserved recognition and thank her for her inspiring contribution to the BE OPEN Art community.
