The God does not play dice. (Albert Einstein)

The essential building stone of Kvíčala's painting is a ripple. It is a multiple valued element whose qualities can be perceived both in the visual-aesthetic level as well as in the physical level. It is an archaic elementary graphic motif with specific meanings referring to the elements of collective identity" reach-ing deep to the period when the mankind did not know anything about the relativity theory. On the other hand, there are many phenomena in this world that may be described using the wave theory. Light, sound, energy, and radiation spread in waves There are things that are difficult to understand but it is possible to express them through irrational way of communication using senses, intuition, and creative imagination, We can also sense some hidden relationships between Kvíčala's paintings and physical discipline.

Kvíčala creates coloured structures composed of waves, The waves directions fluently proceed from point A to point B. They are layered in a regular mechanical rhythm pursuant to the principle of "horror vacui . Every layer has a special direction of the wave flow, the colours gradually summed up, However, painting is a very fatuous activity, At the time, when the painting could be finished, Kvíčala repeats the whole cycle again - with the only difference that he uses white colour under which the original painting disappears, The result is a characteristic effect of more or less distinct, mutually pervaded layers of white and coloured patches and curves The painting represents an action field in which the energy concen-trates and cumulates. The denser the texture of the crossing is, the more urgent is the tendency to mono-chromatic painting.

Ripple has an ambivalent nature. It can express regularity as well as randomness. The painting technique - freehand geometry - is closed to religious or magic practices, It respects the order but at the same time it involves some randomness in itself. Is the world driven by a chance or is it the aspect of determi-nation which prevails? The indefiniteness and randomness is not only a matter of art. It is also introduced into science through quantum theory, Considering quantum theory, there are some cases when waving has no explicitly specified range, but it is instead "somehow blurred in the space with some distribution of probability", The texture of Kvíčala's paintings, their patient "weaving", is a substantive demonstration of processness and temporality, The time is immediately integrated into the aesthetics of the painting as a parable of general issues of our being.
