Pavel Vilikovský
June 27, 1941 – February 10, 2020
Pavel Vilikovský's writing is characterized by a meticulous crafting of reality into language, a process he finds more demanding than translating between languages. His work is born from diligent effort rather than effortless inspiration. He views himself as a sensitive emulsion that captures the external world, consciously setting aside his personal self. While drawing on perceptions and experiences, his ultimate aim is to speak about the universal human condition, for everyone and on behalf of all.
