The Slovakian Arrow (2023)Oil painting
by Roman Sedlak

A nostalgic tribute to one of the most iconic trains of pre-war Czechoslovakia, The Slovakian Arrow captures the streamlined beauty and elegance of the M 290.002 diesel railcar as it glides through the summer landscape. Painted in vivid crimson with sunlit reflections playing across its aerodynamic body, this piece pays homage not just to engineering excellence, but also to the spirit of progress and connection between Bratislava and Prague in the 1930s. The composition celebrates motion, design, and national pride—all set against the soft contrast of wildflowers and trees gently blurred by speed and memory.
