Regarding women motifs, we can talk about Špála's favorite subject with an experimental cubist form and accented color as central expressive elements. The reduction of color to three basic colors - red, blue and white and their shades creates a unique Orphic chord - the elemental basis of Špála's idyllic view of the world.
