The work of Natalie Perkof
The presentation areas of the Obelisk Winery are decorated by the unique works of Czech-Ghanaian artist Natalie Perkof. She, along with the architect Hana Bainarová, has chosen a collection of carbon drawings of the landscape which later inspired her for the ceiling and wall intarsia.
The idea behind this creation was a respect for the historic buildings from the times of Liechtenstein and to re-design their ornate Baroque and Neo-renaissance ceilings in a modern contemporary style. The works connect the influences of the poetic landscape with the vineyards around Pálava and the owner's Obelisk game reserve.
The intarsia is characterized by using a theme of a grapevine, veneers show the segmentation of vineyards and fields in the countryside. The spaces between the individual modules are divided to symbolise the original wooden posts from the vineyards. You can notice a silhouette of a stag from the Obelisk game reserve, also leaves, roots, grapevine bines, ploughed fields and the rocky foothills of the Palava landscape. Its colour corresponds with the wood of ash, maple, oak, beech, poplar, walnut, elm and rosewood.
