« I hope my paintings invite you to follow strokes, drips, and splashes, as well as feeling the energy that I put into them. »
I have been drawn to painting since childhood. For various reasons, I took different career paths that still, in their own way, guided me toward art. For many years, I was on the side of those who work with art professionally, but not among those who create it.

After the Velvet Revolution, in 1992, I founded a successful international photo bank. Yet something was still missing in my life - until about 15 years ago, when I began my artistic journey.

Not wanting to be limited by a lack of formal education, I attended seminars at Art Schools in Prague, as well as Sumie and calligraphy organised by the Japanese Culture Association. The philosophy and aesthetics of Eastern painting have ultimately had the strongest influence on my practice and continue to form the foundation of my work today.

In 2022, I decided to fully dedicate myself to an artistic career, and today, painting is an integral part of my life.
