1975, Svetla nad Sazavou, Czech Republic. I graduated from a prestigious fashion design school in Brno, Czech Republic, majoring in Textile and Knitwear; this is where I developed my skill of drawing and painting. After graduating, I spent several months in England and the USA. My style is always evolving; the strong colour and bold strokes have become slightly softer and more abstract – still playing with light and shadow on a black background. I have always used only a palette knife, not brushes. I like the versatility of the knife - it can both sharpen focus and smooth to abstract. I want the viewer to find new parts to the painting as they adjust their viewpoint, almost like turning the pages of a book. The story starts with only a small amount of background detail, enticing the viewer to delve deeper and discover what lies within. My paintings draw on personal experiences that are a reflection of the visible - landscapes, cityscapes and transport. My ambition is to achieve the perfect balance between realism and artistic expression - find that pitch point by testing the limits of my contemporary style. I’ve held several successful exhibitions in the Czech Republic. The picturePosázavský Pacifik was selected and exhibited at Royal Academy of Art Summer Exhibition in London 2008. I was one of 48 competitors chosen to appear in the UK Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year 2018 TV series. My paintings are held in private collections in the Czech Republic, UK, USA, Belgium, France, Sweden, Canada, Germany and Slovak Republic. I was also interviewed on Czech Television CT1 Dobre Rano and in popular talk-show Vsechnoparty. I holds several awards and also had started to cooperate with the most important Czech auction houses.

The Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition is the largest open contemporary art exhibition in the world, drawing together a wide range of new work by both established and unknown living artists. Held every year, without exception, since 1769, the exhibition attracts around 10,000 entries, the selection made by Academicians chaired by the President.  Now in its 240th year, the exhibition includes around 1,200 works.
